[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Interesting thread, and not trying to hijack but I have similar questions. My son (6'1') just started rowing this spring with the intention of going out for crew when we move for the upcoming academic year (currently live our of state). So far he seems to like it. He was doing cross country before, so we're kind of used to the at times boring aspect of attending as spectators. Also the cardio hasn't been as bad for him because of the running experience.

Anyone know about crew teams in MD -- looking like we'll wind up at BCC, Walter Johnson, Whitman or Churchill... How hard is it usually to make a high school crew team anyway? Is it considered Varsity or a Club sport?[/quote]

I think BCC and Whitman have good crew programs.  Not sure about WJ or Churchill.  Among the privates, St. Albans is a crew powerhouse.

It's a club sport in this area.   In some years, more kids want to participate at some schools than can be accommodated on the buses or in the boats, so there are cuts just as with a varsity sport.  A kid with some rowing experience who is 6'1 and used to cardio training should be welcome.

I'd ignore the other poster's snarky posts.  Guess this area isn't the only area where some people will just go looking for opportunities to criticize where people live, where they send their kids to school, and what they do out of school.  Sad. [/quote]
