2016-17

THE EVOLUTION OF ROWING Rowing, or crew as it is sometimes called, is the oldest intercollegiate sport in America. The first sporting contest of any kind between two universities was a rowing race between Harvard and Yale in 1852. That race is still held annually. The first formal women’s rowing program began in 1877 at Wellesley College in Massachusetts.

Rowing is an NCAA championship sport for women only. The first championship meet was held in 1997 at Rancho Cordova, California.

Division II and Division III championships were added in 2002. Rowing continues to grow immensely in popularity, as the number of NCAA programs has grown from 74 in 1997 to over 140 in 2011. There are annually 22 schools invited to participate in the NCAA Championships. The Division I Championships consist of 11 schools that will be automatic qualifiers by winning their conference championship and 11 schools that will be at-large selections. KU can earn automatic qualifier status by winning the Big 12 Championship. The 2015 NCAA Championships will take place May 30-June 1 in Indianapolis.

A typical spring season competition consists of six races that are scored to determine the

team winner. Points are awarded based on the team’s finish in each race.

The races are: First and Second Varsity Eight, First and Second Varsity Four, and First and Second Novice Eight. The First Varsity Eight is scored at the highest level with the other races awarding fewer team points.

Rowers possess good strength and aerobic endurance characteristics. Athletes in this sport must thrive in a team environment.

With eight rowers and one coxswain in a boat performing a common task, everyone must have a strong commitment to her teammates to bring the boat to racing speed.

ROWING - THE SPORT At the Olympic and intercollegiate level, rowing races are 2,000 meters long (about 1.25 miles), which takes approximately six to seven minutes to complete. As many as seven boats can race at a given time. Each boat can hold from one to eight rowers and usually has an additional person, known as the coxswain (COX-sun), who steers and helps the team execute workouts and race strategy.

Rowers practice in a variety of boats, however, almost all of the races are in four or eight person boats with a coxswain.

ROWING AT KU Rowing at KU is a varsity sport, which means it is one of 18 sports, including football, men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball, that are administered and funded by the Athletic Department. The Athletic Department covers all the expenses of the women’s rowing team including equipment, travel, uniforms and scholarships. Rowing started as a club sport at KU in 1978 and was given full varsity status in 1995. Each year, the rowing team has an average team size of about 75 women.

NOVICE ROWING The team is comprised of two squads: the varsity squad, for athletes who are returning to row in their second, third or fourth year of competition, and the novice squad, for athletes in their first year of collegiate competition. The vast majority of novices have no previous rowing experience prior to attending college. The novice squad races against the novices from other schools. Novices are not expected to race against more experienced athletes from other programs. However, occasionally very talented newcomers can be moved up to row with the varsity in their first year.Both the varsity and novice squads are considered varsity athletes at KU and enjoy all the benefits that the Athletic Department

offers, including academic advising and tutoring, training room and weight room access and adidas sponsorship, which includes all workout and racing apparel.

FEEL THE BURN

In one 2,000-meter race, a rower burns as many calories as they would playing two basketball games back-to-back.

3

PAIR UP

Rowers begin the learning process by rowing in pairs, or boats built for two. It’s commonly known among the rowing community that “if you can row a pair, you can row anything.”

4

COACHES ON THE WATER

Unlike most team sports, the coaching staff can’t talk to their athletes once competition gets underway. Thus, the coxswains actually act as the “coach” on the water, guiding and directing the boat.

5

SPREAD THE STRENGTH

Rowing is the ultimate team sport. It’s not the strongest athletes, but the ones that work together the best that create the fastest boat.

Although it looks like rowers’ arms would be the most important factor, in reality about 70 percent of the stroke comes from their legs and 20 percent from their backs. Only the remaining 10 percent comes from arms.

Mj

PRACTICE Training for the racing season begins shortly after school begins in the fall in order to make sure everyone is ready to compete to the best of their ability in the spring. Practice on the water occurs in the fall and spring seasons and winter training is on land.

Additional workouts with the strength and conditioning staff take place thoughout the year in the Anderson Strength Center. This winter, the team will take a training trip to Florida to work out in warmer conditions.

Which rowers sit in which seats takes a lot of strategy. Typically, the most fundamentally sound rowers sit in seats seven and eight, while the bow pair (seats one and two) are lighter and do more turning. The middle four seats are occupied by the strongest rowers.

In

RACING The competitive season for rowing is in the spring from mid-March to the end of May. In the fall, the team competes in long-distance races to break up the training and acclimate themselves to a different style of competition.

KU races its Big 12 Conference opponents in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, and routinely travels to California, the East coast and the southern states for various competitions.

Rowing races, or regattas, are almost always held on weekends, so team travel usually involves little or no missed class.

SCHOLARSHIPS Rowing has 20 full scholarships, which can be divided up between members of the team.

That is more than any other women’s sport at the NCAA level and second only to football among all teams. Typically, more than 40 members of the team earn a partial scholarship every year.

BREAKING DOWN THE BOAT

KANSAS ROWING

WHAT MAKES A GOOD ROWER? Rowers are generally athletes with good strength and aerobic endurance. Being tall helps but is not always a measure of success. Athletes in this sport must thrive in a team environment. With eight rowers in a boat doing the same thing, everyone must have a strong commitment to her teammates to make the boat go as fast as possible.

RACEDAY In 2013, Kansas rowing began a new tradition at its home away from home - the Kansas Boathouse at Burcham Park. For the last two seasons, the Jayhawks have invited several teams to come to the Kansas River and participate in the Jayhawk Jamboree. Its home river and river banks play the perfect host to the fall head race. More than 2,000 fans come out to partake in not only the rowing, but the great atmosphere. In the spring, Kansas hosts its home events at the Wyandotte County Lake in neighboring Kansas City.

KANSAS ROWING

Head races usually take place in the fall on rivers; for example, the Head of the Hooch and the Head of the Oklahoma.

Rowers, starting the course one after the other about 15 seconds apart, navigate three miles of river around bends and under bridges. Whoever completes the course in the shortest amount of time wins the race.urse in the shortest

CONSISTENCY Continuous, fluid motion of rowers.

SYNCHRONIZATION Rowers strive for perfect synchronization in the boat.

CATCH Clean catches with the blade. Excess splashing means the blades are not entering the water correctly.

BLADEWORK When the blades are brought out of the water, they should all move horizontally at the same height, just above the water.

Mj Kr Cs H

STROKES Strokes per minute. An eight can achieve a higher stroke rate than a single. A tall rower can take less strokes per minute than someone smaller and still move faster.

In

SPEED The shells don’t move a consistent speed - slowest at the catch, quickest at the release. A good crew times the catch at the right moment to maintain the speed of the shell.

2014-15 SEASON RECAP

After one of the coldest Februarys on record, the Kansas rowing program traveled to Oak Ridge, Tennessee to compete in the Cardinal Invite and begin the spring portion of their 2015 season. KU ended its first day of competition with 10 top-5 finishes against four top-20 nationallyranked teams. Day two of the invite had Kansas finishing strong with a first-place finish in both the First and Second Varsity Four Boat races.

The Jayhawks would add two more second-place finishes in the First and Third Varsity Eight races to round out the day.

Next up for the Jayhawks was a trip to Dallas, Texas for a single-day dual against SMU. Fighting through rough weather conditions, KU was forced to scrap the First and Second Varsity Four events. Kansas made the most of its three other events on the day.

Kansas was able to manage a firstplace finish in the Second Varsity Eight and took second in the First and Third Varsity Eight.

Looking to build off their early season successes the Jayhawks traveled to West Windsor, New Jersey to compete in the prestigious Knecht Cup. The first day of races are used as qualifiers for the next day’s finals; the Jayhawks had a strong showing and advanced three

boats to the Petite Finals and three to the Grand Finals. The First Varsity Eight claimed victory in the Petite Final and in doing so was honored as the Big 12 Conference Boat of the Week. The Second Varsity Eight finished third in the Petite Final, while the Third Varsity Eight placed second in the Grand Final. The young Jayhawks rowing in the First Novice Four posted a fourth-place finish in the Grand Final. The First Varsity Four and Second Varsity Four placed second in the petite final and grand final, respectively.

Kansas took a short trip down I-70 as the Jayhawks hosted the Big 12 vs.

Big Ten double dual featuring Iowa, Wisconsin and Oklahoma. The day was split into morning and evening sessions with Kansas facing Iowa in the morning. Iowa swept Kansas in the First Varsity Eight, Second Varsity Eight, First Varsity Four, Second Varsity Four and the Third Varsity Four. Due to another weatherhindering regatta the afternoon sessions consisted of all four teams facing each other. Kansas struggled again placing fourth in First Varsity Eight, Second Varsity Eight, First Varsity Four, Second Varsity Four and the Third Varsity Four.

KU was looking to bounce back as it took on in-state rival Kansas State

for the annual Sunflower Showdown.

The 2015 matchup was the closest in the programs’ history. The Jayhawks began the day cruising to a firstplace victory in the Third Varsity Four and the Third Varsity Eight.

The Second Varsity Four outpaced the Wildcats for the third-straight time. Kansas State came back in full force placing first in the First Varsity Four and Second Varsity Eight races.

Heading back to Oak Ridge, Tennessee for the Big 12 Championships, the Jayhawks were eager to get back on the water after their powerful showing at the Sunflower Showdown. KU came out sharp in the first day of the championship, placing four of five boats into the Grand Final. The Kansas Second Varsity Eight placed first in the Petite Final. KU medaled in three events in the Grand Final: First Varsity Four, Second Varsity Four, and the Third Varsity Eight placing third, second, and third respectfully en route to a fourth-place overall finish at the Big 12 Championships.

THE K RING The K Ring symbolizes a uniquely shared experience between generations of varsity letter winners at the University of Kansas. As a Jayhawk you are expected to uphold tradition and retain the characteristics of a champion while continuing the create your own legacy.

5.

WAVING THE WHEAT Since the early days of KU sports, it has been a ritual of Jayhawk fans to “wave the wheat” following every Kansas scoring drive in football.

The tradition also extends to Allen Fieldhouse where fans “wave the wheat” when an opponent fouls out and at the conclusion of every Jayhawk victory. The ritual consists of fans waving their arms in the air, an activity which, when done by a large crowd, resembles a breezy Kansas wheat field.

6.

THE ROCK` CHALK CHANT The Rock Chalk Chant has been the battle cry of KU fans for more than 80 years. This strange, traditional chant, which is among the most famous of all college cheers, was started by E.H.S. Bailey, a professor of chemistry. On May 21, 1886, Bailey submitted the cheer to his club.

THE ALMA MATER In 1891, professor George Barlow Penny searched for a school song for the Glee and Mandolin Club to sing on its tour through Kansas to Denver and back. No one responded with an original song in answer to his appeals. Just before departure, he thought of the Cornell song “Far Above Cayuga’s Waters.” Hastily changing a few words, he gave it to the glee club men to sing on the trip. He did not expect the song to be used after their return, but “Crimson and the Blue” still goes on. The music is not Cornell’s but an old English folk tune, “Annie Lisle.”

“GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT AND THE BEST WILL COME BACK TO YOU.”

THE NICKNAME: JAYHAWK The University of Kansas is the home of the Jayhawk, a mythical bird with a fascinating history. Its origin is rooted in the historic struggles of Kansas settlers. The term “Jayhawk” was probably coined about 1848. Accounts of its use appeared from Illinois to Texas. The name combines two birds - the blue jay, a noisy, quarrelsome thing known to rob other nests, and the sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunter.

2001 Team finishes the season nationally ranked for third-consecutive year

The head coach’s success at Kansas was recognized nationally in the summer of 2000 when he was selected with former University of Pennsylvania coach, Barb Kirch, to lead the U.S. freshmen and pre-elite camp at the ARCO Olympic Training Center. Catloth and Kirch led the Nations Cup Four to a gold medal (the 23-and-under world championship) in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2000.

During the spring 2006 season, Catloth led a young Kansas team to steady improvement that culminated with solid performances in the difficult NCAA South-Central Regional Championship.

2004 Varsity Eight wins the Kansas Cup for the fifth-consecutive year

Catloth guided Kansas to another successful season in 2006-07 despite experiencing extreme weather conditions.

The winter brought a prolonged freeze of the Kansas River, and in the spring, strong winds and high-water levels forced the Jayhawks to cancel a regatta with Tulsa and Drake.

Nevertheless, Kansas narrowed the gap with Big 12 leader Texas at the Big 12 Invitational in Kansas City. The Jayhawks finished in second place, four points ahead of in-state rival Kansas State.

2005 Team sets a program record with 10 first-place finishes

In a season of firsts, Kansas started the 2008-09 season with the dedication of the Kansas Rowing Boathouse on February 28 on the snowy banks of the Kansas River. The weather rebounded the next weekend as Kansas hosted Texas at Wyandotte County Lake, taking the top spot in the Varsity Four.

Kansas State came to Wyandotte County Lake the following weekend for the Kansas Cup and the Varsity Four dominated again, but a late charge from Kansas State in the Varsity Eight gave the Cup to the Wildcats. The Jayhawks then traveled to the SIRAs in Tennessee and all five boats qualified for the grand finals with the Varsity Four and Second Varsity Eight both taking third in their respective finals. On May 2, Kansas hosted the inaugural Big 12 Championship at Wyandotte County Lake.

Kansas was in second place most of the day, but a restart in the Varsity Eight race hurt the Jayhawks and the team finished third.

CHANCELLOR

ALMA MATER

MARYWOOD, 1966

EXPERIENCE

SIXTH YEAR

Since arriving at the University of Kansas in 2009, Bernadette Gray-Little has advanced KU’s mission of lifting students and society by educating leaders, building healthy communities, and making discoveries that change the world.

Through the Bold Aspirations strategic plan, KU is changing the way it prepares students for success. It’s fostering research and scholarship across all disciplines, and sharing the benefits of a flagship university with the state and world.

Gray-Little led the effort to create new admission standards for the University of Kansas. These new standards take effect in 2016 and will give students and families a more accurate picture of what it takes to be successful at a research university.

Under Chancellor Gray-Little’s leadership, the university has also revamped financial aid, creating four-year renewable scholarships and expanding the Jayhawk Generations Scholarship. And it has launched its first university-wide curriculum, the KU Core, which incorporates both classes and experiences, making KU a leader among its national peers.

Gray-Little has also been instrumental to Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas, KU Endowment’s $1.2 billion comprehensive fundraising campaign. Additionally, the university’s Changing for Excellence initiative is making administrative operations more efficient, with the savings being invested in education and research.

As chancellor, Gray-Little is the chief executive officer of the university, overseeing campuses in Lawrence, Kansas City,

Overland Park, Salina and Wichita, as well as research and educational centers in Garden City, Hays, Parsons, Pittsburg, Topeka and Yoder.

Gray-Little was one of four university leaders selected to represent the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities at a White House summit on math and science education in January 2010. She is also on the board of trustees for the Online Computer Library Center, an international organization dedicated to expanding public access to information and research.

Prior to becoming KU’s 17th Chancellor, Gray-Little held leadership positions at the University of North CarolinaChapel Hill, including executive vice chancellor and provost.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

ALMA MATER

KANSAS STATE, 1988

EXPERIENCE

FIFTH YEAR

Dr. Sheahon (SHAY-un) Zenger is a coach at heart. But when KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little introduced the Hays, Kan., native as KU’s Athletics Director January 3, 2011, he promised not to call any plays for the coaches. That doesn’t mean, though, that he won’t be right there with them – and their student-athletes – every step of the way. For it’s his genuine care for coaches and student-athletes that has stamped his career in intercollegiate athletics.

Since Zenger’s arrival at KU, those coaches and studentathletes have raised the bar with outstanding performances on both the conference and national stages. Highlights include:

H

Zenger served for three years on the NCAA Division I Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. He also served on two NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Division committees, and was a member of the Executive Committee of NACDA’s Division I FCS Athletic Directors Association. He is married to the former Pam McAnarney; they have three children: Luke, Abby and Jake.

Cs

Zenger’s career took several turns before landing in athletics administration. After playing football at Fort Hays State

Still, coaching stayed in his blood. He joined the football staff at the University of South Florida and then at the University of Wyoming before returning to Kansas State, eventually serving as KSU’s associate athletics director for development. He held that position until becoming Athletics Director at Illinois State in 2005.

Mj

Zenger came to KU after serving for five years as athletics director at Illinois State University, helping steer ISU Athletics to a place of prominence in the Missouri Valley Conference.

The Redbirds won a conference-leading seven league titles during the 2009-10 season and captured their second Valley All-Sports Trophy in three years. ISU also reached highs in fundraising, academics and community service during Zenger’s tenure there.

It became evident, though, that more than coaching was in store for Zenger. He came to KU to earn his Ph.D. in educational policy and leadership, while strengthening his understanding of university leadership at the highest levels.

Kr

Zenger has spearheaded a tremendous upgrade in Kansas Athletics’ facilities as well – improvements he expects will help KU’s coaches and student-athletes continue their run of outstanding performances. Most notable among these is the completion of Rock Chalk Park, which contains new, state-of-the-art stadiums for KU’s Track & Field, Soccer and Softball programs. Memorial Stadium has received a facelift as well. In summer 2014 the track surrounding the football field was removed, replaced with new artificial turf, bringing the turf to within 10 feet of the stands. In addition, construction is underway on the DeBruce Center, the permanent home of James Naismith’s original “Rules of Basket Ball,” adjacent to historic Allen Fieldhouse. Finally, the beautiful new McCarthy Hall, which houses the men’s basketball team and an equal number of distinguished non-student-athletes, opened its doors for the 2015-16 academic year.

and Mid-American Nazarene College, and even before he finished his undergraduate degree at Kansas State, he was pursuing his dream of coaching by assisting the football coaches at Manhattan (Kan.) High School. His first college football coaching job came at Drake University right after graduation; he then joined Bill Snyder’s staff at Kansas State, serving in key roles as assistant recruiting coordinator and director of football operations.

JAYHAWKS BEING JAYHAWKS

“KU rowing has helped me find a home away from home and a group of girls that I can call my family and go to for anything.” Sophomore Keaton Poppe

“Rowing is a unique sport that builds you as an individual both mentally and physically. I have learned more about myself in the boathouse or on the river than I have anywhere else.” Junior Bailey Brandon

“KU embodies this saying better than any other team, not one stroke is ever taken off.” Jumior Kenzie Obrochta

“There is no better feeling than every person on your team locked in with one other pulling hard for the person in front of them and the school they love.” Junior Jordan Helms
