What does it take to be recruited as a high school rower to a University Program.

If you are a lightweight man rowing 6 minutes 40 or below for two thousand meters on the Concept 2 rowing ergometer will get you noticed by university crew coaches.

If you are a heavyweight man rowing 6 minutes 16 or below same thing as above.

If you are a lightweight woman rowing a 2K on the concept 2 at or below, 7 minutes 30 seconds will get you noticed by university crew coaches.

If you are a heavyweight woman rowing 7 minutes 16 or faster same as above.

These are indoor rowing scores for top rowing programs.

Remember that indoor rowing is a good cross training exercise. If rowing is not your primary sport, but you have good endurance, you owe it to yourself to pull a 2k and see how you stack up. University crew coaches heavily relay on height, weight, and ergo score (sometimes grades too).
