When it comes to recruiting for the Nebraska track team, there are no strict rules on what times or marks high school athletes have to reach before the Nebraska coaches will recruit them.

There are several factors that could go into how athletes have done to that point, including if they compete in a warm weather state, or how long they’ve been in the sport.
