The Jayhawks placed second in the Lightweight Four and in the Varsity Four and tied for third in the Varsity Four.

“We had a really good weekend,” KU coach Rob Catloth said. “We performed really well, and we have made a lot of improvement in the last month.”

In its first competition of the season, the novice team had an impressive showing, placing second in both the Novice Eight and Second Novice Eight.
