Keeper Of The Cup Shows All Of Us How Special We Are!
Keeper of the Cup Harry Smith sent along this study showing how many athletes make it to participation in college. And it points out just how special all of us are, no matter how weak our PRs are!
The percentage of male high school tracksters making it to Division I college track and field is 1.7%, while footballers achieve Division I status at 2.4%. Cross Country runners slightly surpass the track participation level at 1.9%, but still trail footballers! Who knew how special all of us were?
Females have a higher participation rate than males in College Division I with 2.3% in Track and Field and 2.6% in Cross Country.
