Question
I am a 5'6, 125 pound fifteen year old. I have been rowing for 3 months and my last 2k time was 8.29. I wanted to know what the average 2k score for someone like me is, and how much I need to improve to be able to row at college.

Answer
Hi Mary: Your time is above the average (8:40) for lightweight girls your age. So that's good.

If you remain a lightweight and enter college, you probably need a time of 8:00 or better to make Varsity. If you move up to heavyweight, you would need a 7:50 or better. But there are so many other factors like on-water experience and technique in the boat that will determine what boat you make.

Good Luck/AP
