Answer
Hi Ben: Per the Concept II Database, Distribution of times for 16-18 year old lightweights is:

2K:

Average Time: 7:14.5

PERCENTILES
90th   75th   50th   25th
6:44.0 6:54.1 7:09.3 7:29.9

6K:

Average Time: 22:58.0

PERCENTILES
90th    75th    50th    25th
21:32.0 22:07.2 22:44.0 23:42.5

While your erg times are a bit below average, your combination of experience and technique may put you above average when in comes to on-water prowess.
