| Are there any Spring Sports at Blair that are similar to Fall cross country, where an interested kid could make the JV team even if they haven't really played at a high/club level before? |

| I think track makes cuts but if your child is athletic and fast they don't necessarily need track experience. They did cut for winter track as DC's friend did not make it. |

I’m pretty sure winter track cuts but spring doesn’t. At least at Blair. |

| They said at the fall athletic meeting that spring track does make cuts. |

Me again. Just talked to my son who does winter track at Blair and he said they make cuts but not as many in spring. It’s a much bigger spring team. |

Some of the girls JV teams are walk on or at least they are for fall sports which is all I know about.
If you're talking about a boy I think Blair has allied co-ed softball in the spring. |

| Blair Crew is technically a club sport but doesn't make cuts and is so unique that it looks great on a college resume. |

And Blair crew definitely needs more boys! Let me know if you need contact info. |

What makes you think crew is unique? |

| It's relatively unique among high school sports. Only a small percentage of public high schools offer it - most high school participants must seek out rowing clubs in order to take part. It's also a sport that is offered only in certain parts of the country (on the east and west coasts, for the most part). It instills a lot of really good habits, such as strength, dedication, and team work, which many sports do. I was just suggesting that participation in a sport like rowing is something that can potentially make someone stand out because it's a sport that isn't quite as mainstream as others. |

All Crew parents extol it. |
