My daughter has a “height issue”. She is only 5’7". But every rowing coach who has had her on a boat is amazed by the power she posesses. Her 2k erg last year was just under 7:40. She’s medalled at SRAA’s, Stotesbury. Because she swims for her hs team in winter, she doesn’t erg a lot, but hopes to break 7:30 this yr. She is also #5 in her class with a 4.0 - all AP and Honors classes. She is a junior and will sit for SAT’s next weekend. She has always loved Penn. She wrote the crew coach and hasn’t gotten any response except for the rowing camps they offer in fall or summer. So she wants me to sign her up for the fall one while she is in rowing shape. Im trying to convince her to wait for SAT results to see if she has the scores, since I don’t think he is really interested . Anyone ever use Penn’s rowing camp to get discovered by their staff? Ive seen discussion about some of the US rowing development and ID camps, but was wondering specifically the Penn camp.We have had some interest from other D 1-3 schools - which she is keeping in touch with. Thanks.
