[quote=Anonymous]Height and 2K erg time are the two most important factors for recruiting. Plus you need to meet whatever academic and testing criteria the school has. But generally the better athlete you are, then the lower your academics and testing can be. Winning races doesn't actually matter that much, especially not in 8's. Some great rowers come from teams that don't place well, but they're still recruited to Ivy League and other great schools/teams. Athletes who swim or play volleyball can often transfer skills well. The desired build is tall and very muscular. The best rowers often have thicker builds, much to the chagrin of my long and lean DD. While it doesn't happen often, occasionally top schools will recruit someone with the right build and a spectacular erg time who doesn't have much experience on the water. It's easier to teach technique than to build that kind of strength and endurance. Good luck to all recruits![/quote]
