KU Crew will go to Texas this year for Spring Break, but they will not be on the beach at South Padre Island. Instead, they will be on the water of Town Lake in downtown Austin training for a weekend regatta and a new season.
Karl Brehl, Littletown, Colo., junior and crew president, said crew would follow a tough training regimen, but would take time to put the "break" in Spring Break.
"We do get time for Spring break, usually at night. There's a street with a bunch of bars and nightclubs. We like to go out dancing." Brehm said.
Sarah Morrison, Chicago senior an-
woman's captain, said the team would take
"During the day you run and eat and sleep. At night we go down to Sixth Street. K-State is usually down there and we meet up with other crews that are there. The whole week is spent with the team. We all go out together." she said.
Other than taking a little time to have fun, he week is all business, team members said. It is a break from winter training and doesn't hurt the machine on the water instead of arowing machine.
"We practice in the morning and the evening. In between we rest." Brehm said.
Crew does not row on the Kansas River in Lawrence now because of ice, Brehm said, but the team plans to get on the river as soon as the ice melts.
The training week will culminate with the Heart of Texas Regatta on Saturday, a meet that KU has won the past five years. The regatta is the first meeting of the KU spring
Crew coach Dan Jewett said the team would concentrate on getting ready for the regatta and on training for the spring season.
"We take the whole week to train. At the end of the week (March 18) we race." Jewett said. "There will be 15 collegiate games." Notre Dame and Michigan will there.
"It will be the sixth in a row if we win. I think we have a pretty good chance of winning."
Concentrating on the meter, center, Karl Brehm, Littetown, Colo., junior, pulls a timed piece on the ergometer.
Jewett said the team was strong this year and should be even stronger next year.
"We have an incredible novice heavyweight team. They will be racing in a lot of varsity races and I expect them to win most of the ones around here," he said.
Morrison said she thought the training week would pay off and expressed contempt for her.
"I think we will win," she said.
