From the Coaches Seat " The entire team has really been practicing well and the times are reflective of some increased boat speed. Execution in competition has been our challenge this spring and we have that as our first goal."-Jenny Hale, Kansas State rowing coach
Found: First Varsity Four At the Big 12 Invitational, the Wildcats varsity four featured its fifth different boating in five regattas this year. This time, the fours will feature the same lineup for the first time this season with novice rower Hannah Langenwatler in the stroke, a seat she had for the Wildcats' second-place finish at the George Washington Crew Classic. She will be accompanied by junior Katie Baxter, sophomore Renee Ecklund and freshman Emily Cummings. They have all appeared in the varsity four, but not at the same time. Junior coxswain Stephanie Riegle has been a staple for the fours, steering the boat every time out.

Where do I sit? Kansas State will rig four varsity boats to race in the Lexus South/Central Division Championships with the following lineups: First Varsity Eights: Cox: Brandy Sherwood; Stroke: Talara Wait; 7: Lori Holcomb; 6: Lara Schrock; 5: Susie Truax; 4: Alyssa Adams; 3: Courtney Franssen; 2: Carissa Land; Bow: Katy Bockelman. Second Varsity Eights: Cox: Elane Walker; Stroke: Amiee Finkbeiner; 7: Amy Herrmann; 6: Linzi Hauldren; 5: Angela Murray; 4: Sarah Meitl; 3: Jessica Carmer; 2: Jamie Holt; Bow: Megan Hauver. First Varsity Fours: Cox: Stephanie Riegle; Stroke: Hannah Langenwalter; 3: Katie Baxter; 2: Renee Ecklund; Bow: Emily Cummings. Second Varsity Fours: Cox: Stephanie Black; Stroke: Stephanie Nichols; 3: Erin Erhart; 2: Sarah Trapp; Bow: Leslie Burgdorfer.
Varsity Eight Stays Same Kansas State adjusted its varsity eight lineup for the Big 12 regatta on May 3 and will feature the same boating for Saturday for the Central Sprints. The varsity eight won its heat against Drake and finished second in the grand final to No. 17 Texas. It is the same lineup which rowed well at the San Diego Crew Classic for the Jessop-Whittier Cup on April 5-6. At the event, the Wildcats competed well with a field of elite rowing programs from across the country, finishing only two lengths out of a petite-final championship.
Finding Boat Speed This will be the third time this season Sarah Meitl and Megan Hauver have stepped up from the novice to hopefully add some boat speed to the the second varsity eight. The tandem made its first appearance in the 2V8 at the Kansas Cup on April 19, which narrowly lost to the Jayhawks by two seconds. For the second regatta in a row, Hauver will be in the bow, while Meitl stays in "engine room" at four.
Beginners Luck? Sarah Trapp is the only non-novice rower in the second varsity four. She is looking for the same kind of performance help from the three novice rowers, Stephanie Nichols, Erin Erhart and Leslie Burgdorfer and novice coxswain Stephanie Black, that boosted the first varsity four to a second-place finish last time out at the Big 12 Invitational.
First-timer The Central/South sprints marks the first time this season the Wildcats have entered a second varsity four in any competition. It also marks the first time Kansas State has entered a second varsity four at the Central/South Sprints in its 11-year history.
Second Encore with Kansas The weekend's competition will mark the second-straight year the Wildcats have faced Kansas in three-consecutive regattas, having faced the Jayhawks last season the in the Kansas Cup, Big 12 Invitational and the South/Central Sprints consecutively.
Last time out Kansas State managed to edge Kansas for second place by three points, 43-40, Saturday, May 12 at the Big 12 Invitational Regatta in Lawrence. Texas took home the title for the second-straight year with 55 points. Kansas State grabbed second place in the team standings by placing second in the varsity eight grand final in 6:55.2, 11.3 seconds ahead of third-place Kansas in 7:06.5. The Wildcat varsity four had an outstanding performance and just missed catching the Longhorns in the last 500 meters. After being down with open water early, the young Wildcats, lead by coxswain Stephanie Riegle, started their sprint early in an effort to overtake Texas. In a close finish, K-State came up short by 3.9 seconds, crossing the finish in 7:55.0.
