KU rowing adds nine signees

Kansas University rowing coach Rob Catloth announced the addition of nine rowers to the roster.

They are: Brianna Anderson (Lawrence), Kimberlee Blusher (Asheville, N.C.), Sienna Durr (Baldwin City), Sarah Elstien (Kinnelon, N.J.), Laura Foster (Golden, Colo.), Danielle Gibson (Orlando, Fla.), Mallory Miller (Pleasant Hill, Mo.), Kenzie Obrochta (Buffalo, N.Y.) and Morgan Pugh (Overland Park).

“We feel like our spring commitments are the culmination to a great recruiting class as we now have 19 commitments. We feel like the strength and athleticism of our spring signees will meld well with the signees we had in the fall. We are looking for them to come in and elevate our program,” Catloth said.

Anderson played volleyball and basketball at Lawrence High.

These nine additions raise Kansas’ total number of commitments for the 2013-14 season to 19 student-athletes. The previous 10 committed back in December of 2012. Those rowers were: Kylee Dewey (Silver Lake), Madi Hovis (St. Peters, Mo.), Maddie Irelan (Dublin, Ohio), Lexie Lanphere (Shorewood, Wis.), Olivia Loney (Lawrence), Emma O’Neill (St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada), Brittney Railsback (Lenexa), Emily Kay Ruble (Leavenworth), and Kat Young (Chesterfield, Mo.).
