[[old] starboardemw]

Hey ! ugh, i dont know what to do...im 5'5 and i weight 145/140 and this spring i was in the normal wight varisty boat, but all the other girls were so much big and taller than me, and alot of the other girls on other teams are alllottt bigger, so better times etc. my time is around a 8:10, which isnt really good...but i was thinking, should i drop 15/10 pounds and become a lightweight ? is it worth it ? can i still get a scholaship or even noticed by colleges ???<br />help !!<br /><br /><br />thanks ! <br />-Erica
