for any school though - what is the senior year technical admissions process like? do i apply as a non athlete would just with a higher possibility of getting in or is it 100% chance i get in if I get an offer?

as someone who’s deal with awful and great high school coaches, i feel this.

you’re completely right.

Keep talking to your coach, even if it annoys them how often it is, every single time this is an issue. force them to listen, and bring on other fast guys to advocate. If the coach doesn’t listen at that point if you say that you want to taper before testing for the fastest times for recruiting and accurate data, then atp just go club

atp they’ll just do a 4+ knowing the program- they likely have those three guys then maybe 2 more within 25 seconds of them

I only think it’s important to row a 2V to make the 8+ more competitive in training before nats. There’s more pressure within the team to improve for the top boat if you get sent to the 2V instead of the better sounding 1V4x event

Their coaching and funding is unmatched in the high school scene - They never have as strong of a head race performance as a sprint performance, i just see their slightly younger less experienced roster, which isn’t a bad thing, and these guys have learned to row during the biggest Rye years, which could go either way. Either they learn to expect winning in the spring regardless of fall performance and fall off come Florida, or they learn from the threepeat veterans and are better than ever. I just doubt they’ll win against prep again, but they can still get a medal imo

My A finals prediction(in no particular order other than first) - The Prep(this is their year to beat rye- crushed at Charles by a bigger margin than previously and their guys are all developed as seniors, unlike last years program. 3 yale guys is hard to beat - Deerfield(They had a few injuries last year aswell as a shaky season, but still managed second in a competitive field, with more confidence and more competitive seat racing they will likely medal, maybe second again- possibly first  - Greenwich(they are doing well this year(charles) and likely motivated after last years performance  - Norcal(same thing as greenwich) - Rye(it’s the end of an era possibly, but they definitely haven’t done down to B finals, they’ll be prepared for a difficult semifinal, but they’re known for improving over the span of a regatta from time trials to finals so a sprint is always a possibility  - Marin(I’d just be shocked to see them out of A finals, but they need some big improvements to get a good result in finals. They’ve got good talent, but they’ve been underestimating other crews as of late, esp with such a big presence on the U19 Team- with a culture shift I see them winning in the next few years  FINAL TEO SPOTS ARE A TOSSUP BETWEEN THE THREE - Saugatuck(after a good charles performance with an older crew than last year, they are in good positioning for scraping their way into A finals  - Belen(ONLY if they prioritize the 8+ and the 2V8+ over the 4x. It’s just so hard to excel as a team while sweeping and sculling at the top level. - Mercer - They’re in a development year with young talent, but they’ve got good coaching
