For the girls 1500/1600m, the published college ranges run from 6:05.00 at the bottom of the NAIA range up to 4:32.00 at the top of Division I. Type your time below and this page places it on that ladder, measures the gap to the next range, and shows where it would sit among the girls 1500/1600m marks ranked on TrackReels.
| Level | Top of range | Bottom of range |
|---|---|---|
| NCAA Division I | 4:32.00 | 5:02.00 |
| NCAA Division II | 4:46.00 | 5:36.00 |
| NCAA Division III | 4:53.00 | 5:38.00 |
| NAIA | 4:55.00 | 6:05.00 |
| Below the college ranges | Slower than 6:05.00. This page measures that gap for you. | |
Top of a range means your time is at or beyond the reach mark of that division: the kind of time a competitive program in that division recruits. Inside a range means a roster conversation is realistic there. Below the college ranges is where most high-school athletes start, and the page tells you exactly how far the first range is, so the number to chase is a specific one rather than a feeling.
A range is not a cut-off. Programs inside one division vary enormously, and a time at the bottom of a band at one school is a scholarship conversation at another. Use the verdict to decide which division to spend your time on.
A time inside any published college range is a recruitable high-school time: from 6:05.00 (NAIA) upward. 5:02.00 reaches the bottom of the Division I range and 4:32.00 its top. The guide Good Mile Times by Age and Grade: Rate Your 1600m walks through the real numbers by level.
Minutes and seconds, like 2:01.40, or plain seconds. The ranges are published as 1600m standards; convert a mile first with the mile to 1600m converter.
