The guy I know who was recruited to an Ivy college for rowing was a great athlete, worked incredibly hard at it, won/placed in some national competitions, and represented the US in international crew meets… I think one would need to be an absolutely outstanding rower to be actively recruited by Ivy level schools. Not sure if they recruit coxswains. The woman I know who was a coxswain at an Ivy school years ago was not recruited (I believe she walked on).

Anyway, you are in 8th grade and have been involved in crew for 3 months. This is all ridiculously premature. Keep working at it and see how you progress.
