The Wildcats will race against Oklahoma, Central Oklahoma and Tulsa
MANHATTAN, Kan. – The K-State women's rowing team begins their season this weekend as they travel to Oklahoma City for back-to-back competitions on Saturday (March 4) and Sunday (March 5).
"This weekend is going to be a great opportunity for our team to get some racing experience," head coach Pat Sweeney said. "Seeing as we haven't been on the water since our winter camp, our athletes and our staff are ready to get to work and really focus on making progress this weekend."
On Saturday the Wildcats will race against Oklahoma, Central Oklahoma and Tulsa at the Chesapeake Boathouse.
The first set of races will begin at 9 a.m. CT, with races going off every 15 minutes. The second session will start at 11 a.m. CT and continue similarly with races every 15 minutes.
On Sunday K-State will see the Sooners on the water again for a scrimmage at the OU Boathouse. The teams will scrimmage from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. CT.
"Our team is building up our depth, but we are young overall. This weekend is going to be a big learning opportunity with so many of our athletes sitting on the start line for the first time and gaining experience in a racing situation," Sweeney said.
This will be the ninth straight year the Wildcats have held a scrimmage against the Sooners, and the first time since the Tulsa Triangular in 2021 the team has competed against Tulsa and Central Oklahoma.
The K-State rowing team features two returning seniors, Kaitlyn Henke and Madison Jensen and eight juniors, including captains Jadyn Greisen and Kaylee Kleinschmit.
"We're ready to put our training to work and have something to build off of as we head into our spring camp next week," Sweeney said.
