<rant> I recently ruptured my achilles tendon. I am top ten in girl’s basketball in the state of Georgia. If colleges have expressed interest in you, your injury should not deter them. In retrospect, I have been working harder to get back in the game than I had when I was playing; I think I’ll end up becoming better than I was before.</rant>

It all depends on your psyche. If you continue feeling depressed, once you have recovered from your injury your performance will reflect that. Trust me, there is life after cross country. This hiatus is a prime opportunity to work on your grades and any upcoming national exams. It amazed me how much extra time I had on my hands when I could no longer participate in a sport. Social life? What?

Best of luck to you and PM if you want to further this discussion.
