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

2 total from my school the entire time i was there. I was the first, (D3), one kid a year younger then me (D1).

Right now there is a group of 2-3 seniors who are planning on running (D3)

32 percent.

#1: no

#2: no

#3: D1 track, no XC

#4: D3

#5: D1 track, no XC

#6: no

#7: no

My son graduated last year and 3 of the top seven, including him, are running in college. Two went Div II and one in Div I.

The slowest of the 3 went Div I for what it's worth.

0%, as far as I know. But we were slow - averaged 17:40 minutes for 5k xc for our top 7

2 time private school state championships. Not a bad team that beat many of the best public schools in the state.

#1: Yes, D3

#2: Ran d3 for two weeks then quit......

#3: No; ran club xc though

#4: No

#5: No

#6: no

#7: no

#1 ran 4 years Div 3 and continued

#2 ran one year of Juco

#3 ran 4 years NAIA/Div 3 and continued

A guy a few years earlier ran a year in Div 1.

A guy a couple of years later ran a couple of years in Div 1 and continued on his own.

A guy ~decade later ran 1 year of Div 1.

A guy who graduated last year is currently running in Div 1.

A girl who ran at the HS for two years (and then moved out of state) is currently running in her third year at a Div 1 school.

A girl who ran at the HS about 15 years before I did did not run in college but picked it up again later in life and had quite a bit of success.

#2 - NCAA D3

#2 Ran for UGA for a semester then quit

#3 Ran for UNCG on scholarship

57% decided to 100% could have

none, but I ran DI but didn't run XC

Funny, only 5 people from my high school have ever gone on to run in college, and 4 of them graduated (myself included) in the 4 years I was there. one guy ran D1, 2 guys went D3, and I went D2. All 4 of us weren't on the team at the same time though. but 4/7= ~57%

So, freshmen year, 1/3 seniors. Sophomore year, 1/3 seniors. Junior year, 2/2 seniors. Senior year, 4/5 seniors, with a junior who's running now, and one of those seniors running club level.

Not bad for the school size.
