Recruiting Standards
Tampa women's cross country/track has a current roster capacity of 35 athletes (20 XC/Distance and 15 Sprints/Mid-Distance). Because we are limited in roster space, we must carry selective criteria for recruiting. Roster/recruiting decisions are based on the following standards (times must be hit within the past calendar year, FAT timing only):
| Walk-On | Preferred Walk-On | Recruit | PLEASE NOTE | |||
| Event | Standard | Event | Standard | Event | Standard | Hitting the preferred walk-on and/or recruit standard does NOT guarantee a scholarship or roster spot, only the possibility of being offered one. Final decisions are based on available funding, roster capacity, and overall fit for the program. Typically the coaching staff is evaluating athletes based on their 3rd best time in an event, not their best. |
