Erg times

Athletic Recruits

<p>Tiger</a> Crew Crash P's 2012 - YouTube
from Crash-P (Princeton)</p>

<p>Best erg times for freshmen:</p>

<p>Men's HW: 6.04
Men's LW: 6:23.7</p>

<p>Women's OW: 7:12.3
Women's LW: 7:42.0</p>

<p>That should shed some light on potential recruits' times.</p>

<p>I’m assuming this is Princeton’s own ERG race, akin to the Crash-Bs or the Mid Atlantic ERG Sprints, etc.</p>

<p>Thanks, yes, I agree, that gives a very good indication.</p>

<p>Here is a little more data . . .</p>

<p>A female I know with a 2k ERG time of 7:10 got into a top Ivy League program.</p>

<p>One with a 7:15 got into a top state school program.</p>

<p>That should give everyone an idea.</p>

<p>My daughters friend was recruited to Wisco with an 8:00
Her other friend went to Penn with not much under an 8</p>

<p>:confused: HUH!? Makes no sense. I believe you were told that. But would be very odd.</p>

<p>Generally only athletes with a 2K of a 7:50 or lower are considered for an athletic scholarship. An athlete’s academic standing is also taken into account as well as coach-ability and work ethic. The updates you sent are a great help for me to get to know you better as an athlete. Moving forward, any coaches recommendations and/or rowing video would also be helpful.</p>

<p>Since official visits are paid for by the university they are by invitation only. We won’t start offering visits until this summer.</p>

<p>Sincerely</p>

<p>Sorry, I’m not following what Posts #5 and #6 mean.</p>

<p>And, Post # 7, thanks. I feel somewhat vindicated.</p>

Nope, not odd, I know OW rowers on the lighter side who were ‘recruited’ (i.e. admission boost) in the ‘below’ 8 min. erg time range at midwestern universities. But keep in mind that for OW rowers, erg times are less comparable because coaches will take into account the weight. So, a 7:15 for a girl who’s 150 lbs will garner a lot more interest than a 7:05 for a rower who weighs 190 lbs (I’m making up these numbers here.) Penn does recruit OW rowers in the low 7:40s.</p>
