XC recruiting in junior year - my experiences

OK, so being the good mom that I am :-), I sent out some introductory emails to various coaches last week (with the approval/encouragement of a college coach/recruiter for a different sport) and I find the responses to be a bit interesting. I don’t know if it is specific to my S or just the way things work in the norm.

Generally, their responses have been “It’s too early, contact us in the spring (during/after track season.”

I definitely get the feeling that a student is not recruited for XC, but instead, for track.

We did get one response that was a bit more enthusiastic however :-).

Does this seem to be the way things work for XC?
