KU Travels to Tennessee for the Head of the Hooch

Nov. 2, 2007

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas Rowing will be in action for the second of its three fall competitions this weekend, Nov. 3-4, in Chattanooga, Tenn., for the Head of the Chattahoochee. The Jayhawks will enter boats in eight events, four on Saturday and four on Sunday. It is KU’s first competition since its successful weekend at the Head of the Des Moines on Sept. 29.

Kansas will face stiff competition at the Head of the “Hooch.” Among the competition are Tennessee, Central Florida, and Louisville, all three varsity eight squads were ranked in the final Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association/US Rowing poll last spring.

KU’s novice squad will see its first action of the year this weekend in Wichita, Kan., for the Frostbite Regatta on Nov. 4. The novice team was set to race last weekend for the first time with the varsity, but the Head of the Iowa regatta was canceled due to inclement water conditions.
