Please! They have two strong runners their team is not "loaded"
The whole League is loaded. Columbia has had X good recruiting years in a row--people expect that of them now, as they do of Harvard and Princeton--but it's not like the other teams have been standing still:

I notice that there are no women listed for Cornell on that (unofficial and incomplete) list; but I've also heard (from people in a position to know) that Cornell has actually gotten some tremendous female recruits this year, so I'd have to guess that they're asking their recruits *not* to announce on Dyestat--maybe to prevent poaching by scholarship programs?
This may be true of some of the League's other schools' top male and female recruits who are going Ivy this year, but don't appear on that list. The Ancient Eight are really loading up on distance/mid-distance talent--and throwers, which I find an intriguing development.
Anyway, Heps should be a great XC meet, as always. And female recruits can often contribute as frosh (male frosh help very rarely), so it'll be interesting to see whether Columbia (and Princeton, and Harvard, and others) can knock the Cornell women off their perch.
I think that over the next 10 years HEPS could become one of the strongest running conferences - I think Abbey and Cabral sort of broke the ceiling and gave recruits the idea that they can reach the top of the NCAA in the heps conf. And p'ton women doing well in xc.
oh yeah, and all that financial aid.

Your point (about success at the highest NCAA levels) is well taken, but in terms of top *recruits*--granted, Cabral was pretty well sought-after, though AD'A not so much--I think I'd go with Columbia's Waverly Neer. She was really a national "get"--everyone was after her.
And, despite a lot of down time with injury, she's already been a Heps champ for Columbia. If she gets a year of healthy training, everyone had better watch out!

I have also heard that Cornell has told them to not announce. I'm not sure as to exact reasons why.

My guess is that it's probably what somebody wrote above: they want to prevent "poaching."
As I understand it, Ivy recruits don't have to sign a national Letter of Intent, because the Ivy Group doesn't give athletic grants. Hence Ivy recruits can continue (please correct me if I'm wrong--I'm not in college athletics!) to be recruited by scholarship-granting institutions, right through the end of the summer.
If you have a *really* top recruit, you might not want her to "advertise" her continuing eligibility to receive an athletic grant. Or you might want her to spare the potential summer-long pestering by schools-with-scholarships that need a roster-filler.
Or you might have recruited a total "diamond in the rough"-type talent, perhaps from a small or rural high school, that other colleges have somehow overlooked. Apparently Cornell has had a couple such recruits in recent years, though you could argue that Abbey D'A is the prime example of that.
Whatever. I notice plenty of the Cornell men's recruits are listed, including one or two of their very top rookies. Anyway, I'm sure we'll know what's what in just a couple of months. Meanwhile, I went to the Dyestat list (linked above) and see that my hometown Lions are bringing in a 13-1 female PVer! *That* should shake things up next year...

Given that Tory Worthen and 7 other top pole vaulters this year have graduated, I'd say the pole vault title is up for grabs in general.
You would think that Abbey D's success would draw more big names to Dartmouth. Then again,only 2 listed http://parser.dyestat.com/search.jsp?colID=4417

Keeping in mind that these are just the kids who, on their own, contacted Dyestat to inform it of their college choices...
I'm sure both Big Red and Big Green will have a few more each declared by the end of summer. Still, more of a "wait and see" when compared to recent years
