LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Drake University rowing team competed in the 2016 Jayhawk Jamboree hosted by the University of Kansas on Sunday, Oct. 23 afternoon on the Kansas River in Lawrence, Kan.
 
The field was full of strong club and varsity teams, including Kansas State, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tulsa, Central Oklahoma, Iowa, Creighton, Wichita State, Colorado, Grand Valley State and UMKC.
 
"We didn't get the results we wanted today, but we didn't have bad rows just didn't have the great rows you need with the type of competition we faced," said Drake head coach Charlie DiSilvestro. "No excuses and we will get back to work this week with setting lineups. The water in the river is finally better and now we will have quality water time. Looking forward to our final race with Creighton on Nov. 5. We gave our best shot today and even though it wasn't our day I'm still very proud of the team."
 
Drake was led by its novice 8+ A boat with its sixth place finish with a time of 15:02.59. Boat lineups and results can be found below.
 
The Bulldogs close their fall campaign with the annual end-of-fall race with the Creighton Bluejays on Nov. 5.
