The Women's Cross Country roster appears to have 12 members from public high schools and two from Catholic high schools. Based on the names of their schools, it doesn't appear there are any Harriers who came from prep schools.
From observation that appears to be against the trend at Holy Cross, but it's perfectly fine and healthy. There are many more public high schools than private ones. We want the best from all.

Likely the ebbs and flows of recruiting. Add to your observation on school count by type is the population difference per school (at least here in CA). The average population stats for 2024 are 265 students for private high schools versus 819 for public schools (privateschoolreview.com and publicschoolreview.com). Lots more public school cross country runners to recruit than private school ones.

Perhaps private schools don't see any upside in going out of their way to attract runners.

I vaguely recall we're about 50% public school kids (I could be wrong …and I don’t know what the trend is.) I did read the impressive track bio of an incoming recruit from Scarsdale HS and given the surname and town we may be talking distinction without difference. |

I did read the impressive track bio of an incoming recruit from Scarsdale HS and given the surname and town we may be talking distinction without difference. The incoming first years are very good and the athlete from Scarsdale, Shannon Kelly, is particularly strong with career PRs of 400m (57.82), 600m (1:38.96), 800m (2:11.57) and 1500m (4:42.61) |
