Rowing team expects success
By Erin Johnson Kansan sportswriter.
Kansas women's rowing coach Rob Catloth has so much confidence in the freshmen competing for positions on the women's freshman and varsity rowing teams that he guarantees a national championship within the next four years.
"There's definitely some level of leadership from my club members that I brought up to varsity, but my freshmen are basically going to set the tone for the next years and how we do," Catloth said.
Kansas is the only school in the Big Eight Conference with a women's varsity rowing team, and the Jayhawk freshmen are looking forward to being a part of the program.
"We're the foundation for what rowing is going to become at KU, and people are going to look back and see I was one of the freshmen who helped start rowing at Kansas,"
said Denise Pence, Kansas City, Mo. freshman.
The Jayhawks' first regatta is Oct. 15 in Kansas City, and Catloth said he expected his rowers, including the freshmen, would be ready.
"It's a deal where I just need to get them involved," Catloth said. "It's something they know nothing about. It's kind of like learning a new language."
Only two freshmen on the team have rowing experience.
"The majority of the girls haven't rowed before, and I think it's a sport that can be picked up easily with practice." Pence said. "It's not like football, where you have to learn a lot of rules and regulations."
Catloth said that he would keep 30 rowers for the freshman team, which he expects to win the National Collegiate Regatta and to win a medal at the national championships this season.
to build the women's rowing program.
"You build from your freshmen," Catloth said. "Your freshmen are where everything is based."
Then he hopes to use the freshmen
Although the freshman rowers do not have to be athletic, it helps to have a competitive spirit, Catloth said.
Terri McMullen, Liberty, Mo. freshman, said everyone had a good shot at making the team.
"I think it depends a lot on the athlete, what kind of dedication the athlete is used to putting out and how much they're willing to put out now," McMullen said.
Catloth said he hoped to build a rowing dynasty like that of Princeton University, which has won three consecutive national championships.
"Hopefully, by the time these freshmen are seniors, they'll have started Kansas on their trek to back-to-back championships," he said.
Soccer's world-wide popularity was recognized this fall with the addition of women's varsity soccer at Kansas. After weeks of practice, the team is ready to take to the field.
The Kansas women's soccer team will begin its inaugural season Sunday in Evansville, Ind., with a game against the Evansville Aces.

Walker, a former goalkeeper at North Carolina, said teams usually tried to schedule their toughest game at the beginning of the season.
Kansas women's soccer coach Lori Walker expects the game to be a good first test for her young team.
"Evansville has been around a couple of years and should be a good challenge that will set the tone for the rest of the season," she said.
Evansville was 11-6-4 last year and captured the Great Midwest Conference Championship. The Aces returned nine starters, including Launa Hankins, their leader in goals scored.
Women's soccer will take to the field
Walker, who at 24 is one of the youngest coaches in Division I women's soccer, said Kansas' youth and inexperience were big concerns. Patience from
Kansas fans will be important, she said.
"This is a team which doesn't know what college soccer is all about yet," she said.
Jackie Dowell, freshman co-captain, will lead the Jayhawk defense.
"Jackie is our most experienced player." Walker said. "She has gained experience playing with the regional team at national and international tournaments. Her composure on the ball and her ability to serve forward are tremendous."
"We are nervous and very excited," she said.
The team got off to a good unofficial start earlier this week by defeating Baker University 4-0 in a scrimmage.
Dowell said the team had many emotions going into the first game.
Walker said she was encouraged by the results.
"The team chemistry is beginning to bond together. All those little pieces are starting to fall in place," she said.
Of the milestones that will be set this weekend, Dowell said getting on the scoreboard would be most important.
"I'd like to score the first goal scored in KU history," she said.
