Interesting story. She never rowed in HS but was an elite XC ski racer in Steamboat Springs and tall enough. She is still on the team.

How many teenage XC skiers are there? I would assume one would be elite simply by showing up.

It’s not uncommon for us* to take great athletes who have never been in a boat and turn them into world class rowers. I’m not sure how many sports are left where you can start it at age 18 and be great, but rowing is one of them.

Here’s one good example:

Anna Cummins (née Mickelson, born March 21, 1980 in Seattle, Washington)[1] is an American rower who won a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics and a silver medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in the women's eight. At the FISA World Rowing Championships in 2006, Mickelson won the gold medal in the women's eight with a new world's best time of 5:55.50, and with partner Megan Cooke, she placed 4th in the women's pair. At the FISA World Rowing Championships in 2007, Mickelson won the gold medal again in the women's eight and won the "B" final in the women's pair.

Anna grew up in Bellevue, Washington. She graduated from Newport High School. In high school, she ran varsity cross country and track; she played varsity basketball. She attended the University of Washington where she began rowing. She was a member of Washington's Varsity Eight (first boat) which finished second at NCAA Championships in 2000 and won the NCAA Championship in 2001 and 2002. Washington also won the team championship in 2001. She also won an NCAA championship in 1999 in the Varsity Four (third boat), her first year of rowing. She graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor's degree in communications. She married Dr. Bob Cummins on December 22, 2007.[1]

She must have been pretty kick ass. She got a schollie without ever having been in a boat.

Anna is a great example for sure. Hell half my class never rowed in HS. But that’s not as common now. Most of their recruits these days were elite HS rowers.

Rowboat is 81% rare human physics and 19% skill.

This. Hanging with former rowboat guys makes me feel almost as short as hanging out with the basketball team.

So rowboat is all about being tall, good technique, and in unison?
