Continuously on the cutting edge in college athletics, Kansas Athletics has officially launched Jayhawks Ascend -- a program designed to assist student-athletes in their journey of pursuing a degree from the University of Kansas.
For Coach Carrie Cook-Callen, it is important that her athletes feel comfortable in their own skin and understand that at KU, it's all about embracing the culture of a radically inclusive boathouse—a term coined to express and showcase total inclusivity.
Fair or not, the position commands attention and demands maturity.
The Kansas rowing team had 13 student-athletes earn Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) National Scholar Athlete honors, the most the program has had in a single season.
Kansas Athletics student-athletes continued to standout in the classroom, collecting a 3.40 department grade-point average for the 2021 spring semester. Each of the 14 teams recorded a 3.00 GPA or better, with five teams establishing new program records.
The Kansas rowing team placed a total of 25 student-athletes on the 2021 Academic All-Big 12 Rowing Team, as announced by the conference office on Thursday.
