Percent of your High School's XC Top 7 who continued to run in college?

My HS was new my 10th grade year, I was in top 3 all 3 years. One guy a year ahead of me went D1 walk on for a year. I went D1 (partial, 4 years). One guy two years behind me went D2 with a nice scholarship for two years - VERY talented, very uninterested.

From my junior year team which won the state championship

#1 (3 at state) - NCAA D1 for less than a year (academic trouble)

#2 (4 at state) - NCAA D1

#3 (5 at state) - NCAA D1

#4 (7 at state) - no

#5 (19 at state, freshman) - NCAA D1

#6 (24 at state) - no

#7 (50 at state) - no

#1 no

#2 D3

Yeah, we had a stellar group.

1. SR- 16:30/4:40/10:25ish- yes, juco

2. SO- 16:30/4:40/10:20ish- only a Junior now, he will run in College when he's done, 16:10ish now

3. SR- 16:40/4:30/1:56- NAIA

4. FR- 16:40- He will likely run- 16:20ish now

5. FR- 17:00- So will he- like 16:15 now

6. SR- 17:00- no

7. JR- 17:10- no

currently 2 of 7 are running, 5 of that years 7 will likely run. 2 guys that graduated my junior year are running- one at Navy and their number 2 man in cross (3:50 in the 15, multiple sub 25's in XC), another at Boise State.

This years team stands to have tons of guys though- 1 junior and 6 sophs- all below 16:40

Agree with the above poster that "a little background" looks like the '77 Deerfield, IL team. Rated #1 in the country I believe with their top 5 under 15:00 at state.

If memory serves, Todd McAllister (4:07), Mark McAllister (4:09), Tom Stevens (4:09), Keith Hampton (9:04)

too bad none of them improved much or even made it through 4 years of competitive college running. High school peak and burn out?
