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 girls 800m time in high school?

A time inside any published college range is a recruitable high-school time: from 2:42.00 (NAIA) upward. 2:15.00 reaches the bottom of the Division I range and 2:07.00 its top. The guide Good 800m Times by Age and Grade: Rate Your Time walks through the real numbers by level.

Which format for the time?

Minutes and seconds, like 2:01.40, or plain seconds. Indoor and outdoor times are rated the same way; the ranges are outdoor standards.

Where do the ranges come from?

Source: Streamline Athletes published recruitment standards, 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.
