<p>Does anyone have any experience with or know what it takes to walk on to the varsity team? (Particularily on to the varsity lightweight men's team?) I have no rowing experience but I'm thinking about trying to walk on next year. Is it even possible considering I'll be a junior next year?</p>
<p>Yeah I wanted to know about this as well. Also, how do the students regard the rowing team? I met a few students who when I visited and three of them barely knew they had a rowing team.</p>
<p>Technique aside, which does comprise a very large component of rowing, you’re looking at AT LEAST a 1:39 split for a 2k erg test to make one of the varsity boats for lightweights.</p>
<p>Is there a JV or club rowing team at Cornell as well? I just want to row, I don’t really care where.</p>
