So an online source lists the following times as MINIMUM times to be considered as a recruit for D1 rowing. Of course this is assuming you have the required academics, SATs… I was just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on these times based on their experience in dealing with coaches, etc.

2k time (split) 6k time (split)


Men 6:40 (1:40) 21:00 (1:45)
Lightweight Men 7:00 (1:45) 22:00 (1:50)
Women 7:40 (1:55) 24:00 (2:00)
Lightweight Women 8:00 (2:00) 25:00 (2:05)

As a lightweight woman, these times seem a bit generous but as I said, the website lists these as minimums. Of course if someone wants to confirm that you can get recruited to a top lightweight program with an 8:00 2k…that would make me very happy :)
