Rowing

Weekend regatta a chance to scope out competition

This weekend the women’s rowing team travels to Chattanooga, Tenn., to compete in the Head of Chattahoochee. The regatta is the second of the season for the varsity squad.

The regatta will be on Saturday and Sunday and the team will compete against several teams that will later face Kansas in the South/Central Regional in May. Among those teams, Tennessee, Central Florida, Southern Methodist, Louisville and Clemson look to be Kansas’ biggest competition.

The varsity squad, led by seniors Alia Bober and Kara Boston, are looking for success in a number of races. Boston, who competed in the Head of Chattahoochee last year, won the doubles race. This season, Bober and Boston will team up to compete in the doubles race at Chattahoochee.

The novice team, which has been training for the last 2 1/2 months will get a chance to break the ice and compete in their first race, the Frostbite Regatta on Saturday in Philadelphia.

Swimming

Swimmers compete in dual meets at home

The Kansas swimming and diving team will play host to the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks at 10 a.m. tomorrow in Robinson Natatorium after playing host to the Arkansas Razorbacks in a dual competition yesterday.

The Jayhawks are hoping to continue improving after getting off to a solid start this season. Kansas opened with a fourth place finish at the Big 12 Relays on Oct. 19 and a victory at Northern Iowa before falling to the Missouri Tigers in its first Big 12 meet of the season. Several records already have been broken by Kansas swimmers, and two divers already have qualified for the postseason NCAA Zone “D” Diving meet.

Tennis

Players travel to Florida for last fall tournament

The Kansas tennis team will wrap up its schedule of fall tournaments this weekend at the Seminole Invitational at Florida State University. The team will compete in a field featuring players from Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech, New Mexico and other Florida schools.

The team already has turned in impressive performances this fall and expects more of the same this weekend. Kansas players will compete in three flights of singles play as well as doubles. The doubles draw features the 36th ranked pair of senior Elizaveta Avdeeva and junior Edina Horvath. The duo is 5-3 in fall tournaments including a runner-up finish at the Cissie Leary Tournament earlier this year.

Sophomore Kunigunda Dorn and junior Yuliana Svistun and freshmen duo Mymee Tokuda and Maria Martinez also will pair up for the doubles draw.
