[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say that you are recruited to play in college, do you mean scholarships?  or just play on the team?

Rowing: No mens scholarships....it isn't a NCAA sport.     Womens rowing is easier than most other sports, but there are fewer total teams.  Unlike most other sports, there are very few D2 teams.  And the best D3 teams are much better than the weakest D1 teams.    The strong D1 teams pretty much require row[b]ers to be over 5'8 or 5'9 with 7:45 or better 2K times[/b]...even then the majority will not get even partial scholarships.  Someone mentioned coxswains for shorter kids, but very few if any coxswains get scholarships.  And it doesn't really help to be athletic....it's a leadership, strategy and steering position.

This can't be true any longer - that was the case 30 years ago and things have become more competitive since then[/quote]

Yeah, my 2k time was better than that in 1995 and I rowed for a good D3. I’m a tall woman - 5’10” - but was never the tallest or strongest or best erg time on my team.[/quote]
