KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The Kansas rowing team celebrated senior day in true winning fashion after defeating Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown on Saturday morning on the waters of Wyandotte County Lake. Only two of the four races in the Drake Dual were launched and due to wind conditions later on in the morning the remaining races versus Drake were canceled.
Kansas’ Third Varsity Four and Third Varsity Eight also competed in an unofficial, exhibition capacity on the day. I am grateful to those that made today possible, racing at home is pretty great. We had so many young Jayhawks get their chance to gain racing experience. They understood what all of the hard work has allowed them to do.
The Kansas rowing team will host the annual Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State and later a dual versus Drake on May 1 on the waters of Wyandotte County Lake. The
