6B Monday, October 16, 1995 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN We Buy, Sell Trade & Consign USED & New Sports Equipment Kansas has strong row on Kaw By Erin Johnson Kansan sportswriter KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Incredible. That was the way Maggie Romens described the Kansas women's rowing team's performance yesterday at the fourth annual Head of the Kaw Regatta — the first regatta in which the Jayhawks competed as a varsity team. The Kansas women's rowing club participated in the regatta the past three years. Kansas earned five medals in four races, including two medals in the Varsity Open Eight race — a first place tie with Wichita State and a third place finish. The team also won silver and bronze medals in the Varsity Open Four and a silver medal in the Novice Eight. "It just made me realize why I love this sport so much," Romens said. "We were really ready. I think we're the strongest we've probably ever been this early in the season." Kansas women's rowing coach Rob Catloth said he thought yesterday's performance was an indication of how the Jayhawks would do the rest of the season. "My varsity people that were club last year are showing a lot of improvement and are rowing a lot better," Catllo said. "I think we're coming along." Sophomore rower Kristin Borel agreed. "I think it sets the tone for the rest of the season," she said. "I felt we did really well today, and I know we'll continue to progress. I think we gave it our best shot today, and we did very well." Four other Big Eight Conference teams competed in the regatta: Kansas State, Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma State. Yesterday's regatta featured novice and open events. The open events took the place of separate lightweight and heavyweight events. Catloth said not having the lightweight division was a disadvantage for the Jayhawks because several of his lightweight fours — sets of four rowers in which each rower weighs under 135 pounds — have been to Members of the Kansas women's rowing freshman team warm up on the Kansas River yesterday at the Head of the Kaw Rowing Regatta in Kansas City, Mo. All of the Jayhawks' rowers placed in the top four at the event. the national championships several times. Catloth said he was looking forward to this weekend when his lightweight varsity eight travels to Boston for the Head of the Charles Regatta. Pam Dishman / KANSAN Women's golf team still seeking answers to slump Solution may come beginning today at tournament in Wichita By Spencer Duncan Kansan sportswriter In a place off Interstate 35, a team will be trying to find itself today. As the Kansas women's golf team begins play today in Wichita, it will be searching for the ability to win. "We'd like to finish higher than fifth and play much better," freshman Mandy Munch said. The Marilyn Smith/Sunflower Invitational in Wichita is a two-day, 54-hole tournament played at the par-72 Crestview Country Club. The team is concentrating less on where it is playing and more on what it must do to play well. "We talk about the numbers we need to shoot and stay around to be competitive," senior Lynn Williamson said. "We are just trying to reach a goal of playing well." Munsch will lead the traveling team into competition. She is following up on an eighth-place finish last week in Oregon and has placed in the top 25 in each of Kansas' three tournaments. Her 79.2 average also is the lowest on the team. "She has been a bit of a surprise," Williamson said of Munsch. "She works really hard." Sophomores Lori Lauritsen and Beth Reuter, junior Missy Russell and Anne Clark and Williamson also will compete. Williamson did not play in Kansas' last tournament and said that she was looking forward to helping the team with her return. The most important thing to this team is to play consistently before the fall season is finished. "The fall is the time to see where the team and the players are at," Kansas women's golf coach Jerry Waugh said. Crown Cinema Waugh said that he would be looking for consistency when evaluating the players. The 14-team field also will offer the Jayhawks a glance at their Big Eight Conference competition. Besides Kansas, other Big Eight teams that will compete are Kansas State, Colorado, Missouri and Nebraska. BEFORE 6 PM.
