Could I ever get a college track scholarship?


Question:
I'm a sophmore about to be a junior and this is my second year running.and i made regionals this year but did not qualify for state.i would like to know if i would be able to get a scholarship for track in college.my personal best times are
100 meter-11.1sec
200 meter-22.0 sec
400 meter-56 sec
thank you for your help and advice!

Answer:
for being a sophmore, your 1 and 2 are pretty damn good, your 4 time sucks though. but, if you are able to get to the high 10s and at least low 21s by end of junior year, you should be able to get at least a partial scholarship to a D1 school.
Your 200 is pretty good, 100 decent, and 400, meh. And you have quite a bit of time left until graduation, if you boost your 200, could could have a shot at it,
Yes, but you'll have to get faster. Your hundred time is pretty darn good though.
you know a 22.0 is two straight 11.0 100s...? I highly doubt you manage that if you're only running an 11.1 open 100
Those are excellent times! (to me it is). Most of the people in my gym class had on average:
100 m:17.2 sec
200 m: 38.6
400m: 1:05:21

So I would bet you are on the right track for one. Maybe more training and that might seal the deal. :)
Like everyone else has said your 1 and 2 times are good but your 4 time needs some work. If you are not yet a junior you probably have a lot of developing to do. So keep training. You definitely have a shot but so do a lot of people so you have to set some goals and go for them. Get with your coach(if you have a good one) and see if he has any pointers. There are also a lot more races out there than 100 and 200 meters so try some new events maybe even the long jump or some hurdles.
Sure, you have GREAT TIMES!!

NEVER QUIT, NEVER GIVE UP! Keep going for the goal and gold!
