<p>what does it take to be recruited for crew? what erg scores do you need? does it help to be a lightweight?</p>
<p>If you're a guy, under 6:30 on the 2k. If you're a girl, under 7:30 will get you on the radar screen of the best rowing programs. Being a lightweight hurts because there aren't as many lightweight programs. Post your scores to the USRowing website and if they're low enough, you'll get plenty of attention. My daughter received a call from the Head Coach of the US Junior National Team her sophomore year in high school after posting her scores at the USRowing website.</p>
