Here’s my PR’s from freshman year
3 mile: 16:22 5k: 17:10 3200m: 10:16 1600m: 4:48. Sophomore PR’s 3 mile: 15:23 5k:15:45. I run 50 mpw I don’t run Sunday’s and I don’t weight lift. I need to get 9:30 for 3200m and sub 4:30 1600m. Any diet ideas please anything will help?!?!

You probably don't need to worry to much about your diet.
I feel like this is one of the easy ones. When things are going well, don't change much. Either stay at your 50mpw, or bump at most to 55 but not more until the summer when you can push it more. You improved by 1:25 over 5k, you will probably go under 4:30 as it is. I would think the question would be more about going under 4:20.

You're totally fine. 9:30 is harder than 4:30, but if that 5k course is legit you're there. I'm also a sophomore, I was faster on the track as a freshman but I battled some injury issues this XC season.
Just don't do workouts too early or burn yourself out. Clearly what you are doing works. I'd recommend some sort of core work/plyos if you aren't doing anything besides running though.
