LAWRENCE, Kan.--Kansas rowing heads north on Saturday, April 25 to face Minnesota at Lake Phalen in St. Paul, Minn., at 10 a.m., in the team's final tune-up before the first ever Big 12 Conference Championship. In the case of bad weather, a plan is in place for the regatta to begin at 8 a.m. instead of 10 a.m.  

Last year Minnesota swept Kansas at the same location as the then 16^th ranked team in the country. That Minnesota team finished fourth out of six participants in the 2008 Big 10 Championships. This year's Minnesota team is currently ranked 20^th.

Kansas will continue the 2009 spring season on Saturday, May 2 at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan., as the Jayhawks host the first ever Big 12 Rowing Championship. A time has not been set for the regatta which will include Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Kansas' boatings are listed below.
