try looking into Orange Coast College, Mt. SAC or Glendale Community College. Typically good distance programs where 2nd year runners are running 80+ after track season for summer xc training.

Look at the state meet results. I guarantee all the top schools put in 70+ weekly. 70+ is the industry standard.
You don't get to the top as a distance runner with 40 mile weeks.

Are you looking at JCs in Norcal, SoCal, or central CA?
preferably socal but all recommendations are welcome
Cerritos can get up to the 80s-90s for some, but it depends on the runner. I was only in the 50-60 range there because I was injury prone, but a good number of my teammates would be 70+, one or two of them in the 90 range. They've been constantly switching coaches in the past few years so I don't know about the current coach, but the last three were big on mileage if you could handle it.
Other poster already covered these schools too, but solid mileage programs in socal will also include Orange Coast, Glendale, and Mt. Sac. San Bernardino Valley is also a good place to look. They're constantly in the top 5 at State almost every single year. Not sure about their miles but they always seem to peak at the right time so clearly they have something good going on as well.
