## The levels for the boys 1500/1600m

| Level | Top of range | Bottom of range |
| --- | --- | --- |
| NCAA Division I | 4:05.00 | 4:20.00 |
| NCAA Division II | 4:06.00 | 4:22.00 |
| NCAA Division III | 4:15.00 | 4:37.00 |
| NAIA | 4:10.00 | 4:47.00 |
| Below the college ranges | Slower than 4:47.00. This page measures that gap for you. | |

## What the verdict means

**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.

## Questions athletes ask

### What is a good boys 1500/1600m time in high school?

A time inside any published college range is a recruitable high-school time: from 4:47.00
(NAIA) upward. 4:20.00 reaches the bottom of the Division I range and
4:05.00 its top. The guide [Good Mile Times by Age and Grade: Rate Your 1600m](https://trackreels.io/blog/good-mile-times-by-age-and-grade) walks through the real numbers by level.

### Which format for the time?

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](https://trackreels.io/convert/mile-to-1600m).

### Where do the ranges come from?

Source: [Streamline Athletes published recruitment standards](https://blog.streamlineathletes.com/track-and-field-college-recruitment-standards-what-performances-do-i-need-to-go-to-my-dream-school/), checked 2026-08-12, cross-checked against Fast Track Recruiting (D1 tables). These are published by a recruiting service, not by the NCAA. They vary by program and conference, so treat them as orientation rather
than a gate.
