Cornell does not have their 2017 rosters listed nor have they advertised their Class of 2021 recruits so I am likely missing someone.
I wasn't able to find a 2017 roster for xc, but the Big Red women's recruits for the Class of '21 were publicized a month ago:
http://www.cornellbigred.com/news/2017/7/31/womens-track-field-unveils-21-additions-for-2017-18.aspxThe Cornell squad was a somewhat surprising fifth in last year's Heps: Normally more assertive, the Big Red squad seemed to run tentatively and was never in the mix. They rebounded very strongly to take another fifth (out of ~40) at Regionals.
The Big Red had a young squad last year: Of the twelve Cornell women who ran Heps, I believe that only the mercurial Taylor Spillane graduated this spring. (She's on Syracuse's roster this fall as a grad student and may have fifth-year eligibility for all three seasons.) In addition to all the returnees, Artie Smith--newly elevated to the head coach's position for women's t&f/xc--brought in a large group of rookies. Here's some info on a few of them, as gleaned from the press release and a quick Google check:
Isabella Dobson (CA) 10:49
Annie Glodek (PA) 10:49 (also 5:04, NXN)
Kyra Hunsberger (NV) 10:40 (also 2:15, 4:56)
Raisa Kochmaruk (PA) 11:08
Gabrielle Orie (NY) 10:00m (also 6:59/2kSC)
Kenenni Wiegand (MT) 11:09 (also 5:11, 46th NXN)
Melissa Zammitti (NC) 10:54 (also 2:13, 4:56)
In addition, a couple of middle-distance who possibly could help in cross:
Kelly Jawork (PA) 2:11, 4:51
Leya Salis (NH) 2:07, 4:45
