Nice video! Are you a walk on or were you recruited?

@@meredithstump2086 do you learn more about walking on at admitted students days?

[@meredithstump2086]

@@allyalive I don’t think so. Because it’s a d1 sport, the team recruits most everyone prior to then. If you’re interested in joining, email a coach!

Hi! I’m on my first year of high school rowing as a 8th grader is there anything colleges really look for when recruiting? Like good form, times, mix of both? I’ve been on a u14 team for a year too

[@meredithstump2086]

Hi, that’s awesome! It depends a lot by program but showing strong interest and having good lines of communication with coaches matters the most. Other than that, good times matter and so do race results. If you only have one or the other, that’s okay, and if you have neither, you can still get far in the recruiting process! Coaches care a lot about interest, consistency, and improvement is honestly probably the biggest thing.

How did you get to where you are with college rowing? I’m a high schooler and have no idea where to go when it comes to recruiting. What did you do to become a walk on rower?

[@meredithstump2086]

As a walk-on, I came into contact with the coaches over email and then attended the tryout, met the benchmarks, and joined the team! Being recruited is a lot of the same: reaching out to coaches, visiting schools, and sending scores. Feel free to reach out to me over Instagram with further questions!
