Rowers recruit new faces

Kansas’ assistant rowing coach Jennifer Myers will lead the annual rowing informational meeting tonight and tomorrow evening at 5 p.m. in the Wagnon Student-Athlete Center. The meeting is open to all KU women.

“The main thing we want to present is that you don’t have to have past rowing experience to be on the team,” she said. “We just want to inform and educate about the sport and show how rowing works in a Division I school.

”Both sessions will demonstrate rowing technique, show last year’s video highlights, and have current or past rowers speak about their experiences.”

“The highlight video was nice to see because it showed what you could be a part of,” rower Dyana Lawrence said.

Lawrence attended the meetings last year as a sophomore and is continuing with the sport this year at the varsity level.

“I think hearing the women speak about past experiences was the determining factor on whether I was going to do the sport or not,” Lawrence said. “They gave a good overview of why they choose to row and what it’s like. They also answered questions on time commitment and traveling.”

The rowing team is currently available on the side of Wescoe, in front of Stauffer-Flint, to speak to women interested in learning more about the team.

“We just want to remind women of the meeting and get them to come out,” Myers said.

Women who would like to learn more about the rowing team but cannot attend the informational meeting can contact Myers at 864-4207 or go to the rowing office, located on the west side of Allen Fieldhouse.
