<p>When a student states her erg times, does she adjust them for weight, particulalry if she is looking towards lightweight rowing? Just need to know, so can accurately complete resume and recruiting forms.</p>
<p>Also, what are recruitable ERG times for Harvard and Princeton woman's lightweight?
Thanks!!</p>
<p>Blue - don’t adjust the times. D should list her height, weight and time.</p>
<p>please use the easy search this forum for quick & thorough answers as exactly this has been covered numerous times in here.</p>
<p>and in addition to using the easy search function of the athletic recruits threads forum (try “Lightweight rowing or 2K times”), I forgot to agree that 2K times are NOT to be listed in any adjusted or weighted fashion, but rather list the true pulled times. with your height and weight also in your info, the coach knows how strong he feels about that 2K for someone that height and weight. good luck.</p>
<p>to be more specific…is a 5’ 1’’, 104 lb lightweight rower, 2K ERG 8:10 with an Academic Index of 231 recruitable at an Ivy??</p>
<p>Sorry, but no. Too slow and too short. Has she considered being a cox? Would need time to gain experience and results.</p>
<p>bluemath - absolutely would recommend your D look to be recruited as a cox. Does she have time this season or summer to move to the cox position?</p>
<p>perhaps if she has been rowing year round for a few years at a top program, maybe a non-Ivy/non-D1 school would welcome a walkon, though height might still be an issue, so the cox idea is good. Or do it as a club sport?</p>
<p>What about 2K ERG 8:00 for a 5’5" 130 lb highschool girl? Possible to be recruited at top schools or does she still need to be faster?</p>
<p>Around my kid’s club, the lightweight benchmark for girls is thought to be 7:40-7:45 for top recruits. I’m not sure that height figures into that specifically, although girls achieving those times tend to be 5’6" to 5’9". I am sure that excellent schools with less competitive rowing teams have some slower times.
One girl, HP recruited and will attend next year had a 7:40 at 125 pounds, at 5’6", 2270 SAT and 4.6 wGPA. I’m not sure if her ERG score, or her academic stats, did the trick.</p>

<p>You can look up the LW erg times for big indoor competitions such as C.R.A.S.H.-B and Mid-Atlantic Erg sprints.
That will give you a pretty good idea.</p>
<p>If you have the GPA and test scores AND the coach wants you the 8:00 in my opinion would be fine.The coach knows the girls get better.</p>
<p>Use the search function</p>
<p>someone recently posted hw, lw for both men and women</p>
<p>erg scores</p>
<p>also look at rosters/stats hts/wts/ regional tests, crash Bs?, etc</p>
