By Staff Reports     May 18, 2015

? Three of the four Kansas University boats that competed in Sunday’s Grand Final races at the Big 12 Championship earned medals, pacing the Jayhawks to a fourth-place finish in the five-team field.

KU’s top finish of the day was the silver medal captured by the Second Varsity Four boat of senior coxswain Sarah Lasini, juniors Jackie Adamle and Casey Kelly, sophomore Kylee Dewey and freshman Angie Allen. Kansas finished second in 7:51.18.

KU’s Third Varsity Eight and First Varsity Four boats placed third.

“I thought we had some good races,” Kansas coach Rob Catloth said. “There was strong competition here. We medaled in three events, and I thought our Second Varsity Eight had a great time in the Petite Final.”

Texas won its fifth Big 12 crown with 137 points and was followed by Oklahoma (107), Kansas State (89), Kansas (80) and West Virginia (52).
