<p>The numbers are off for crew as well. I have to assume it’s because most states don’t have state high school crew associations, so they’re not included in the NFHS survey. The NFHS websites lists only 107 men’s and 165 women’s high school crew teams, but its list is clearly incomplete. Just off the bat it ignores the entire state of Massachusetts, a state with at least 30 competitive high school rowing programs as well as Pennsylvania, with 43 and New York with 74. Contrary to the NHFS assertion that only 7 states have high school rowing, there are in fact competitive high school crew programs in 40 states. My daughter happens to row on a school based crew team in a state not listed by the NFHS as having any teams.</p>
