Now if she makes the Alabama rowing team... </div></div>
Are we talking scholarship?
Looks like me and the wife will be there in the after noon. Hopefully get in a few hours before the place closes.

She has already been awarded 3 academic scholarships and is up for at least one more that we will find out about in the next few weeks. So far we're at about 60% covered for the total estimated costs of attending, living, etc. I am open to donations however!
As to rowing, she is a lightweight rower and at present, UA ladies rowing only competes in the ladies heavy weight class (135 pounds and over in the high school division. Not sure about collegiate). Thus she will not be recruited as a rower unless she beefs up another 17 pounds! Not an easy task for her.
She is however also a skilled Coxswain and there is a place for her on the team as all the sweep boats require a capable coxswain for each.
The competition for scholarships is intense and there are only two offered for coxswains. As she was not a full time Coxswain the past two seasons, she refused to conduct false advertising to the schools she applied to.
She plans to join the team in August as a walk-on and try to earn a scholarship as a coxswain once she proves herself to them as the ass kicker I know her to be.
