Kansas Wraps Up Regular Season with Senior Day and Dillons Sunflower Showdown
5/2/2025 9:00:00 AM | Women's Rowing
LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Kansas women's rowing team is set to host the Dillons Sunflower Showdown in conjunction with senior day celebrations on May 3 in Kansas City, Kansas. The Jayhawks welcome in-state foe Kansas State and Creighton to the waters of Wyandotte County Lake for their final regular season regatta.
"We're looking forward to celebrating the hard work of our student-athletes in our final regular season competition," said Kansas head coach Carrie Cook-Callen. "We encourage people to come out and cheer on the Jayhawks!"
Racing begins at 9 a.m. with the 2 Varsity 4+ and will be followed by the 1 Varsity 8+, 2 Varsity 8+, 1 Varsity 4+ and before wrapping up with the 3 Varsity 8+ at 10 a.m. All races will start 15 minutes after each other.Â
In three of the past four seasons, the Jayhawks have claimed the Dillons Sunflower Showdown title, including a 17-5 victory last year, over the Wildcats. Creighton's participation will not account for any points going towards the trophy.
KU received an early glimpse of both teams back in the fall when hosting the Jayhawk Jamboree on November 2, 2024, when three Jayhawk boats picked up wins in the Varsity 4+, Novice 4+ and Varsity 8+ races.
Approximately 40 minutes after the conclusion of the final race, the Dillons Sunflower Showdown trophy will be awarded to the winning team with the senior recognition ceremony to follow immediately after. Those being honored include Ava Black, Amber Cayci, Rylee Crowell, Jacie Goff, Tammy Keller, Karly Larson, Melia Martin, Emma Olney, Audrey Owens, Olivia Schroeder, Riley Shoots, Sarah Sutton, Laura Teska, Alessandra Vedder and Emma Wistuba.
Kansas returns home following the Lake Wheeler Invite on April 25-26 where the 2 Varsity 4+ boat secured third place and 1 Varsity 8+ finished fourth in the final round to highlight the outing.
Live timing for the event is available for fans interested in following along. Live updates will also be posted to the Kansas Rowing X account.
Admission to the event is free, but parking is $5 for those driving. Directions to the lake can be found here.Â
