I think that sounds like a great time. Keep working hard and improving, and you would have a good shot at a college scholarship. I don't know anything about it actually, but it has been discussed here before and there is some dispute about what kind of erg time is required. In a recent blog, Xeno says:<br /><br /><!--QuoteBegin--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'><!--QuoteEBegin-->An individual does not need to be a skillful athlete in order to pull a great indoor rowing score.<br /><br />A great erg score is the result of a combination of: Miles rowed, weightlifting, and target heart rate training.<br /><br />Anybody of any age can achieve improved fitness quickly with indoor rowing.<br /><br />High school students, athletic or not, may be potential rowing scholarship candidates.<br /><br />A male heavyweight rower pulling a sub 6'10" is considered a red hot recruit.<br />A female heavyweight rower pulling a sub 7'10" is considered red hot.<br /><br />A male lightweight (at or below 155lbs) rower pulling below 6'30" is considered a red hot recruit.<br />A female lightweight (at or below 125lbs) rower pulling below 7'30" is considered a red hot recruit.<br /><br />That is it for now.<br /><br />XENO </td></tr></table><br /><br />Here are some good threads from the past (a little testy though at times)<br /><br /><a href='http://concept2.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=1476' target='_blank'>lightweight college times</a><br /><br /><a href='http://concept2.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=2400' target='_blank'>college rowing</a>

Both of you are insane for your age! Thats really really impressive. Im also only 15 but im not a freshman in highschool im a sophmore (went to kindegarten too early?) im 6-1 and 163lb's. My last 2k was a 7:09 at the mid atlantic erg sprints, but im aiming to get a sub 7 by the end of the year. Once again congradulations on that 6:44 man...thats ridiculously sick
