Having problems with message search?
Like everyone else replying I don't have statistics at hand regarding
HS rowers and relative success in HS or admission to college. I also
recall the article(NY Times?) on scholarships for women rowers. I believe there
are more scholarships available than the number of junior rowers each year.
In looking at recruiting class press releases at various universities that would seem to hold
true as many recruit non-rowing athletes(BB, volleyball, swimming, track, etc.).
As part of my daughters college recruiting we
received data from several universities showing the graduation rates
of their athletes, grouped by sport. Almost without exception the women's
crew team(Men's aren't governed by NCAA so they don't include them) has
the highest or near the highest graduation rate of all their NCAA sports, although
usually swimming, tennis , volleyball are in the same ballpark.
You can get data for all universities here.

Subject: [youthrowing] Stats on High School Rowers
If anyone has information about the following I’d appreciate if you email me at rickbrown@threerive
I’m looking for statistics on high school aged rowers and what a positive influence rowing is on them. For example a GPA comparison of rowers vs. other athletes or college placement stats, etc. I would also be interested if anyone knows numbers about how many scholarships are awarded to high school senior rowers every year as they move onto college.
Thanks to anyone who might have some stats to share. Best of luck to all this spring
Thanks,
Rick
