Before walking down the hill from the KSU Boathouse to the Tuttle Creek Reservoir near Manhattan Saturday morning, the Kansas State rowing team gathered in a circle and belted out "Wildcat Victory." The Jayhawks had a different outcome in mind for the Sunflower Showdown Regatta: Kansas 17, K-State 9.
The Jayhawks and Wildcats were tied at 9 points each going into the final event, the first varsity eight race. The winner earned 8 team points, and the loser received none. The head-to-head events were 2000 meter long sprint races. Kansas and K-State were neck-and-neck through the first 1000 meters, but the Jayhawks started to pull away between the third and fourth 500 meters, building more than a boat-length lead and winning by more than 5 seconds. Kansas finished with a time of 6 minutes, 23.30 seconds. K-State finished with a time of
6. 28.70
In the process, the 'Hawks won the Kansas Cup for the first time in three fall season tries. The traveling trophy will reside in Lawrence for a year.
Senior Abby Rosdahl enjoyed taking it from the Wildcats.
"It's huge." Rosdahl said. "K-State is by far our biggest rival. It was especially sweet to have the fate of the team decided on the last race."
Eight points are awarded to winners in the first varsity eight race. Five points are awarded in the second varsity and first novice races, and three points for second novice eight and varsity four races. Winners of the novice four and third varsity eight races earn one point.
The Jayhawks started the regatta on fire, winning the novice four, second varsity
eight and second novice eight races, jumping out to a 9-10 lead. Kansas appeared ready to run away with the regatta with four events left, but K-State answered with wins in the first novice eight, varsity four and third novice eight races. The Jayhawks broke the 9-9 tie with their win in the first varsity eight race.
Kansas had a big win the second varsity eight race, with two boats entered in the event. Both finished ahead of the Wildcat boat.
Junior Jennifer Page, coxswain of the second varsity "A" boat, continued her success as navigator. Page led the second varsity boat to an eighth-place finish at the Head of the Charles Regatta. This was Page's first year as an eight-boat coxswain, although she had piloted a four boat last year.
"I had confidence in my boat; I knew they could win," Page said. "Rowing in a four boat last year gave me experience.
Kansas dominated for most of the race despite a slow start, something for which Page said

Coach Rob Catloth was impressed with the second varsity race and the Kansas Cup win.

"I was really, really pleased with the second varsity win," Catloth said. "It's a big jump for the varsity program. It also gives us depth."
2. K-State, 6:28.70
"I thought we could win the team trophy. That's what we were shooting for," he said.
The weather was more cooperative this year than last year. The Sunflower Showdown was at Clinton Lake on Halloween last year, a cold, rainy and windy day. This year, the temperature was in the 80s and the wind was minimal.
The Sunflower Showdown was the Jayhawks' final regatta.
Women's tennis team ends season on high note

The Kansas women's tennis team was eliminated from the ITA Rolex Central Regional Championships Friday in Salt Lake City, ending a fall season that included six singles players with winning records, several singles and doubles titles and gaining experience for the spring season.
"We finished strong and that's really important," coach Jenny Garrity said. "We are going to be a team that will be hard to beat. We have a lot of depth."
"When you have four players in
In singles action, four Jayhawks made it into the round of 16 at the Rolex tournament — the most of any team in their region.
the final 16, that's indicative of a good tournament," Garrity said. "We did a good job of preparing for every match. It was by far our best tournament."
Junior Monica Sekulov (8-5) upset two higher-seeded players en route to her quarterfinals appearance. Sekulov beat Pia-Lena Ander of Boise State, the No. 9 seed, and Oklahoma's Jannie Hamilton, the No. 4 seed, before retiring to Dominikia Olszweska of Oklahoma State because of a pulled muscle in her groin area.
Sekulov said she played well in the tournament despite her injury.
"I just tried to compete and play through the pain," she said. "Who knows what would have happened had I been able to compete more."

Garrity said Sekulov's play was inspirational.
"She played some of the best players in the region, and she overcame so much pain," she said. "It was amazing."
Senior Brooke Chiller (5-6),
sophomore Cheryl Malliaah (8-4)
and freshman Tiffany Chang (9-5)
lost in the round of 16 to three
high-seeded players.
Chiller, the No. 10 seed, lost to
No. 1 seed Ana Friganovic of New
Mexico, 6-2, 6-4. Friganovic, who
is ranked No. 4 nationally, won
the tournament.
"Brooke didn't have a great season, but she finished strong." Garrity said. "It's important to finish strong because you have
more confidence, and you'll work harder next season."
Malliaah, seeded No. 13, was defeated by Nebraska's Sandra Noetzel, the No. 3 seed, in straight sets. Chang, who was unseeded, lost to the No. 11 seed, Gee Gee Garvin of BYU.
Garrity said Chang's lack of experience could have hurt her in her final match.
"She was unseeded, and she led 4-1 in the third set against a senior from BYU." Garrity said. "However, this loss will help her realize she can play at a top level."
Senior Julia Sidorova (6-2) and sophomore Christi Wagenaar (9-2) both won matches in the singles consolation round of 32 before dropping round of 16 matches.
Sophomore Lisa Malliach (7-4)
and freshman Kim Lorean (3-7)
lost in the first day of play.
Wagenaar, who had a nine-game winning streak through the Lady Seminole Classic in October, has started using more of her weapons on the court. Garrity said.
"It's no surprise that she had a great season — we've helped her use a lot of her tools that she sometimes didn't use." Garrity said. "She has a lot of confidence now."
The Jayhawks will have time to fine tune their skills until Feb. 6, 2000, when they play Creighton at home. Sekulov said she was looking forward to the upcoming spring season.
"Spring season is more team oriented from the fall season," she said. "We have a great team, and we all help each other out. We'll get better results because of it."
