ROWING
Jayhawks prepare for spring season
By Erin Johnson
Kansan sportswriter
With the fall distance season behind it, the Kansas women's rowing team is now looking ahead to the spring sprint season.
In their first season as a varsity team, the Jayhawks were hoping to lay a foundation upon which they could build the future. After finishing at the top in all three regattas this fall, Kansas did more than lay a foundation.
"As a whole, I think we found out we could push ourselves a lot further than we thought we could, and
that resulted in us doing better against teams nationally," Kansas senior coxswain Mary Beth Kurzak said.
K an s a women's rowing coach Rob Catloth said he felt good about the team's accomplishments this season, which i n c l u d e d recruiting freshmen that worked well together and.
together and were competitive
just around the corner, Catloth said Kansas needed to work on getting stronger.
good and were competitive. "We've accomplished more than we were expecting," he said.
The team is working during the fall and winter months to raise its fitness level. Instead of practicing at Clinton Lake, the Jayhawks are rowing on the machines in Allen Field House and running the stairs at Memorial Stadium. When the new weight room in the fieldhouse is finished, they will be lifting weights to build upper-body strength.
Kurzak also noticed the success of the freshmen rowers.
When we get back on the water.
The conditioning will be a key factor in how the Jayhawks will do next spring. Catloth said.
By accomplishing more than was expected, the Jayhawks have a new challenge for the spring — fulfilling even higher expectations.
"They exceeded all of our expectations," she said. "We've been so excited about their enthusiasm and desire to work hard. I think they have the amazing ability to catch onto things so quick, which I think is why they did so well."
The fall distance season generally is used to get the rowers in shape and work on their rowing technique. Now that the spring sprint season is
they'll row better than we were when we got off the water," Catloth said.
Kurzak said the winter was tough for the rowers because they enjoyed being on the water. Practicing four times a week in the fieldhouse isn't the same as rowing on Clinton Lake. However, by setting
more goals for themselves, Kurzak said the offseason would not tend to drag as much.
Now that their season is over, the Jayhawks are going to build on what they have. And after finishing in the top at the Head of the Kaw regatta in Kansas City, Mo., and competing against national and international teams at the Head of the Charles in Boston and the Head of the Iowa in Iowa City, there is a lot of promise for the spring season.
"The fact we had such a strong showing in the fall has proven to ourselves we have the ability to do it," Kurzak said. "We're a team that's always working towards nationals by the end of our season. We accomplished a lot and went far in the fall."
