Team starts season slow against seasoned Texas

Tuesday, April 1, 2008

The Kansas rowing team competed in its first official spring regatta Saturday morning at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. The Jayhawks and Longhorns met in six different races, featuring three novice teams and three varsity teams. Though the Longhorns came out on top in all six races, Kansas coach Rob Catloth was not discouraged.

“It was our first race,” Catloth said. “We finally got one under our belt and we raced pretty well. There are a few things we need to improve on, but that will come with time and experience.”

While the race was Kansas’ first of the spring, Texas had already competed in regattas such as the Fighting Nutria 2008, the Longhorn Invitational and the Heart of Texas. All these races were held in Austin, Texas, and gave Texas valuable experience evident against Kansas.

Kansas’ first and second varsity eight boats timed 7:01 and 7:17, respectively, compared to Texas’ 6:50 and 7:02. Kansas’ varsity four boat came within seconds of besting Texas, finishing at 7:52 with Texas at 7:49.

The three novice boats raced as well, with the second novice eight going down to Texas’ by 1.8 seconds, the closest race of the day.

“Our fitness looks pretty good and we had good intensity for our first race,” Catloth said.

Catloth will look for improvement when they race on April 14 against Kansas State in Kansas City, Kan. It stands as the only home regatta of the year for the Kansas rowing team.
