Possible hip labral tear

My daughter is having a contrast MRI tomorrow to identify if she has a labral tear in her right hip. She is 17 and otherwise healthy.
How soon were you back to doing any running? If she has a labral tear, we need to decide fairly quickly whether to have the surgery or wait. She doesn't want to miss her senior cross country season - practice begins mid-August; 1st meet at the end of August. Is it realistic to think she could be in shape to run a 4K by that time?
