My friend's HS daughter (17) just torn her ACL for the 2nd year in a row. She previously was a key XC runner on a team that placed top half at NXN. She did not make it back onto the varsity this past season after half a year of rehab. The doctor is recommending surgery for lifetime success, but their daughter wants to defer it till after HS so that she can continue to be part of the team. Does anyone know of runners who have had success with no ACL? I'll just relay the answers back to the parents minus the rifraf that is always on these boards.
I'm sure they'll appreciate the time that anyone takes to reply.
