The Kansas rowing team will head to Texas for its first official regatta of the spring season. On March 22, they traveled to Tulsa, Okla. for an exhibition. It continued the annual meetings between the two teams, with both teams last year gathering in a triangular meet to take on Drake. That meet was cancelled due to weather. The regatta this year was considered an exhibition and no official times were taken.
The rowing team hopes to continue the success it found in the fall with its young team. They competed in the Head of the Des Moines in late September, their opening regatta. Senior Kara Boston helped the team by winning two gold medals and dominated the Collegiate Single event, in which nine Jayhawk rowers were present in the top 10.
They rode that momentum into the Head of the Chattahooche where their lightweight team won their respective competition and Elivisha Patterson brought home a second place medal in the lightweight single. In the final match of the fall, Kansas lost the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State. The Wildcats outscored them 16-9. However, coach Rob Catloth saw the entire fall play, compromised of long distance races, as excellent practice for the NCAA-qualifying spring. The races in the spring are head-to-head sprints.
The regatta on Saturday will be held on Lady Bird Lake, where they will compete varsity fours, varsity eights, and novice eights against the Longhorns. Texas has already competed in the Fight Nutria 2008, the Heart of Texas, and the Longhorn Invitational in the spring, giving them an experience advantage over the young Jayhawks. After the Texas regatta, Kansas will look forward to its meet with Kansas State on April 12. It will go down as their only home regatta of the year.
