<p>I'm a sophomore and I really want to run XC next year but I don't want it to look like I am just doing it to pad my ECs. I would have ran this year but I found out too late and was out of town the first week of practice. Will it look bad to start in my junior year? </p>
<p>No. It’s not going to look like you’re doing it just for college unless you don’t have any ECs now and junior year you suddenly join a million things. </p>
