OMAHA, Neb. – Kansas Rowing topped Creighton in a dual event on Saturday, April 9. The Jayhawks were able to secure the top spot in four-of-five races.

"It was exciting to travel with a bigger squad for the first time this season. The race was a good environment for our young athletes to experience 2K racing away from home in their crew. I’m looking forward to the hard work over the next couple of weeks as we ramp up for the Lake Wheeler Invite. "

Ad Astra finished in first with a time of 7:21.9, leading them to a win over the Blue Jays.
