[Mick]

My son is a shot put and discus thrower, as well as a sprinter. His high school coach believes he could compete as a collegiate decathlete.
I've been trying to find a list of D1 schools with track programs that include a decathlete or two. His athletic performance level is probably not major program level, but a step or two below, such as Ivy League competition.
His GPA is 4.0, SAT score 1350. The SAT score is likely too low for Ivy League admissions.
If anyone here has a suggestion for how I might find potential "good fit" school's for him, any help you can give my family  is greatly appreciated.

You might also want to talk to Mick, whose two sons went to Princeton on volleyball scholarships about navigating Ivy League admissions as athletes.

I left a message for you in your inbox regarding Ivy recruiting basics.  Feel free to call me directly if you'd like to discuss it further.

Here's last year's Ivy results, which includes all ten decathlon event results. Top score was 7,491 points which would have finished #2 in the Pac-12 last year. Stanford's Harrison Williams won the Pac-12 with 7,925 points. The #7 score in the Ivy league was 6,062 points.
