For nearly twenty years I have spoken with high school runners and their parents about college in my role as coach Patrick Wales-Dinan. The talks often land on the same hard spot. One school puts more money on the table. Another feels better but costs more or looks smaller. Families ask me which way to go.
I tell them the same thing every time. The biggest offer is not the best choice. The place that fits the runner is.
Athletes who chased the famous name often arrived and felt lost.
