Any good recruiter will know what they are looking for their junior year. Quite a few of the MD runners are in soccer during the fall and skip XC. If you are looking, do your homework in the summer and communicate with the ones you see have potential during the fall. The November class is not as important to the MD group because they most likely won't be doing xc in college(for boys) and the big schools do quite a bit of recruiting during the summer that's why they have a head start......excuse the pun.
