This. Unless she 5’9”+ and naturally athletic. Or under 110 lbs and extroverted.


Not true. Friend's kid started rowing in 9th. Not athletic at all. Had never rowed. Tall, for sure. The Hs is not a top program. By junior year was being recruited by D1 schools.

Good point. Let her try it and see if it becomes her thing.

I know a coxswain who was recruited and ended up at an excellent Division 1 program. One thing they did was make recordings of them coxing during races.

Also, rowing for one of the local clubs during summer and fall is important for recruiting. TBC is probably the top local club https://www.tbcracing.org/ My kids learned a lot during their summer rowing program.


A do I and by her sophomore year she was in an extensive therapy program for her eating disorder from the coaches keeping on her about not gaining weight.

Also being on a nationally recognized team and being "the one" the coach recommends.

It's all about her 2k time on the erg. Being tall helps too.
Roughly Division 1 schools want a time under 7:30, Division 3 under 7:45
