I am most curious about Catrina MacAlister, Kaylin Mahoney, Molly Grabill, Alli Billmeyer, etc. (the top gals from CA). But usually CA runners don't commit until February itself... anyone know why?

My guess for Grabill is Oregon. i think she'd thrive there. I heard Billmeyer was headed to Stanford?
No idea on MacAlister or Mahoney, but both are great runners and will do great things in college.
how did stanford afford cuffe and sviensson
they don't use straight athletic scholarships. they search everywhere for places money can come from, financial aid, scholarships outside of and from the school, grants, if the kid has money have them pay some, and then the athletic scholarships come in.

Can't combine financial aid with athletic aid unless track wants to assume the total percentage...how easy is it to get academic money at Stanford? Probably very difficult. Looks like its eith a hefty percentage of athletic aid or they pay part of their way freshman year and get increased as they contribute/perform...

This is incorrect. Some financial aid MAY be counted against a team's total, but not all is. I have worked at 4 different Division I institutions.
Whether they are offered athletic aid or not, Stanford's policy for any incoming student whose parent's are under a certain income level, is that the incoming student will receive significant financial aid. So it is possible many members of the team are not on any athletic aid.
you can combine academic and athletic money. the ncaa has specific thresholds for GPA, test score and class rank. meeting any one of those makes academic aid exempt from athletic total.
i assume just to get admitted to stanford you have to meet at least one of those standards, so they can split their athletic money up quite a bit.[quote]backstretch wrote

What financial aid MAY NOT be counted against a team's total? Just curious as I have worked at some D-1 schools as well and that hasn't seemed to be the case. I have seen some kids get great packages (95-100%) but the second you add in something from athletics like books you have to assume the whole percentage. Maybe Stanford's threshold and endowment can offer a family making say $150-200k a very high percentage so they don't have to go the athletic aid route?
What financial aid when combined with athletic aid MAY NOT be counted against a team's total?

15.5.3.2.2.1 Academic Honor Awards—Based on High School Record. Academic honor
awards that are part of an institution’s normal arrangements for academic scholarships, based solely
on the recipient’s high school record and awarded independently of athletics interests and in amounts
consistent with the pattern of all such awards made by the institution, are exempt from an institution’s
equivalency computation, provided the recipient was ranked in the upper 10 percent of the high school
graduating class or achieved a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.500 (based on a maximum
of 4.000) or a minimum ACT sum score of 105 or a minimum SAT score of 1200 (critical reading
and math).
If a student-athlete meets any ONE of the above 3 thresholds, their "academic grants" do not count against the athletic totals.
And when being accepted to places like Stanford, there is a strong probability that the student-athlete met at least one of those 3.
