At the event, the Wildcats competed well with a field of elite rowing programs from across the country, finishing only two lengths out of a petite-final championship. Finding Boat Speed Beginners Luck? First-timer Second Encore with Kansas Last time out Kansas State grabbed second place in the team standings by placing second in the varsity eight grand final in 6:55.2, 11.3 seconds ahead of third-place Kansas in 7:06.5. The Wildcat varsity four had an outstanding performance and just missed catching the Longhorns in the last 500 meters. After being down with open water early, the young Wildcats, lead by coxswain Stephanie Riegle, started their sprint early in an effort to overtake Texas. In a close finish, K-State came up short by 3.9 seconds, crossing the finish in 7:55.0.
