[quote=Anonymous]My niece is a rising senior and is being recruited by Division 1 rowing programs. She only rows for her high school team and only rows in the spring (she plays a different sport in the fall). She did one summer rowing camp after her freshman year but didn’t love it so didn’t do any summer rowing the past 2 summers.

She has a recruiting page on the NCSA website (I think her coach encourages all rowers to make one). She has been contacted by the coaches of many top (and not top) programs based on that. She has excellent grades and SATs so that helps. Her top choice now is a DI school with a strong but not tip top rowing program that wants her as one of their designated walk ons (there is some term for this but can’t remember what it is).

My nephew also rowed, but was not recruited. He now goes to a patriot league-comparable college and rows on their club team, which takes rowers with full to no experience. PP is right that recruiting for men’s rowing is very different and much more competitive. [/quote]
