Recruiting Ep 24: What To Do When You Are Down To Two

Down to your final two college programs and can't decide? In this episode of Relaxed and Fast, Baldwin Wallace University Head Track and Field and Cross Country Coach Joe Eby and Coach Josh Fiorentino walk recruits and parents through how to make the right college decision when both schools look great on paper.

This recruiting-focused episode covers what college running recruits tend to over-value (uniforms, facilities, social media) versus the factors that should actually drive a final decision — academic fit, team culture, coaching relationships, and where you'll genuinely thrive over the next four years. The coaches share the tie-breaker questions they give their own recruits, plus the green flags to watch for on a visit and the things athletes don't think about until after they arrive on campus.

Whether you're navigating NCAA Division III recruiting, weighing multiple offers, or supporting a high school distance runner through the process, this episode gives you a practical framework for choosing the right fit.
