You can find this all on the internet by googling rowing, college rowing recruiting etc: Height matters: big difference between 5;11" and 6’2". Even 6 2" is slightly on the short side for a recruit. Review the rosters of the D1/Ivy teams and many list heights. Erg score for a top recruit is pretty much below 6:!5. As a lower tier recruit you still need to be sub 6:25 for any top program. There are no hard numbers. For example: If you are 6;6" and still developing physically, you can probably get away with a slower erg. If you are a top student and have a 6:30 you may be a good AI recruit. Read the rowing thread of 2017 that someone else referred you too for additional information. You will often see kids on rosters that are there strictly for their academics too-and they may never be in a race. Just like any other sport. View Erg as similar to an SAT. It is a hard metric by which power is assessed. You should also make sure your erg test is verified.
