Arkansas lands another top girl

BREAKING: Marissa Ferebee (2026) of Pella HS (IA) has committed to Arkansas!

Marissa was the NXR Heartland champion, breaking the course record with a time of 16:25.50, and went on to place 7th at NXN (#3 returner).
She is also a 5x Iowa 3A individual state champion (2x XC, 2x 3000, 1x 1500)
She will be joining Arkansas’ women’s distance class of 2026 with Gabbie Bishop and Braelyn Combe

Oops. Didn't mean to be redundant. Definitely another great recruit for Burns. She beat Paityn Noe's state records and now they'll be teammates for in a year.

Burns is definitely making a difference on the recruiting side.

Hunter Robbie to Duke

and another to Arkansas - Ryin Miller

Holy crap! ...another one!?

Arkansas clearly has the best female foursome for '26. Bishop, Combe, Ferebee and now Miller!?

Very, very impressive.

Looks like we're due for an update! Lots of new commits since you last posted your list.

Thanks!

The google document is being steadily updated which includes recruiting class data. But for those who prefer lists, I have amended to alphabetical by school, then by last name. This could also be sorted just by last name if that would be better.
