University of Colorado cross country: Mission Impossible?

CU has a really really good xc/distance team, yes they are nationally ranked and it would be hard to get on the team with a 22min 5k. but of you continue running and consistantly training im sure you will lower your time. i dont know anyone who goes there, but i know a few people who go to CSU and their 5k times are in the 17s. CSU and CU are about the same level, both really big DI schools and competing a lot against eachother. If you really like CU you should go there and just run on your own, there are a lot of races in Boulder that you can run to keep racing. So if you really like the school go there cuz its a really nice place and dont let running xc change your opinion compeltely because with your time i dont think you'll make the team. you would have to lower you time alot to run in college. im looking at some DII, DIII, and NAIA schools in college and almost all of them want you to break 20min or be close to that, but im sure theres some schools that would take you if you really want to run.
