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 400m Hurdles time in high school?
A time inside any published college range is a recruitable high-school time: from 1:02.90 (NAIA) upward. 56.10 reaches the bottom of the Division I range and 50.70 its top.
Does a hand time count?
The ranges are fully automatic times. Add 0.24 to a hand time before rating it, the standard high-school conversion, or use the hand time to FAT converter. Wind matters too: a sprint or horizontal jump with more than 2.0 m/s of tailwind is not a legal mark, whatever the clock says.
Where do the ranges come from?
Source: Streamline Athletes published recruitment standards, checked 2026-08-12, cross-checked against Fast Track Recruiting (D1 tables) and NCSA scholarship standards (retrieved 2026-09-22). 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.
