Last year, Michigan State won NCAA with six of their top seven from Michigan. UM had their entire top seven from Michigan until injuries hit late in the season. At one point, they were ranked 1-2, with 13 out of 14 in their top sevens from in state. That shows the incredible depth from Michigan high school girls in recent years.
Yup
University of Minnesota gets absolutely nobody from out of state. I think they would really excel in an instate only meet. Their formula is pretty much just take 2 or 3 from top 5 at state cross country championships and maybe the 800 meter state champion.
which state typically has the most in the top fifty at ncaa?

Did Colorado, Stanford, or Oregon ever have more than two in-state recruits on their championship teams?
CU, before "Running with the Buffaloes" opened the floodgates to the masses of every 9:30 kid wanting to run for Wetmore, as well as being able to get legit Foot Locker dudes, was predominantly an in-state operation.
Some notable Colorado native Buffs:
Adam Goucher
Chris Severy
Brett Schoolmeester
Brent Vaughn
Emma Coburn
Laura Thweatt
Pretty sure a lot of the 5-6-7 runners that round out solid CU teams tend to be either in-state or from a neighboring Four Corners state.
