[quote=Anonymous]To prepare for freshman crew tryouts your son should spend some time on an erg machine because cuts are usually made based on erg times. The boys do a good job self selecting and only a dozen or so will try out freshman year and all those trying out tend to be very serious about pursuing it. Everyone knows that rowing can be tough - a real grind - so the boys who try out usually go into it eyes wide open. The boys who make the team are overall good athletes and being tall (at least 6'0") is helpful, unless your son is interested in being a cox. Most will have also participated in the summer rowing camps offered at STA. The camp gives them a really good insight into the program and the opportunity to get to know the coaches. It seems to be a great program and the boys seem to like Coach Haley and the freshman coach.[/quote]
