If you are athletic and would like to try a new sport at a Division I program, then rowing could be the sport for you. The Cardinal rowing program will host three informational meetings in late August to talk about tryouts, and U of L coaches and athletes will be on campus recruiting during the first week and half of school. They will be located at the bottom of the ramp outside of the Swain Student Activities Center (SAC).
Andrea Buch will be the Cards' novice coach for 2007-08 and she can be contacted at (502) 852-8121 or at abuch24@yahoo.com.
Three informational meetings will be held to talk about tryouts and anyone interested in trying out for team is asked to attend only one of the meetings scheduled for the following:
- Tuesday, Aug. 28 - Floyd Theater (SAC) - 1-2 p.m.
- Wednesday, Aug. 29 - Floyd Theatre (SAC) - 1-2 p.m.
- Wednesday, Aug. 29 - Floyd Theatre (SAC) - 5-7 p.m. (Largest and most informative, so if possible, this would be the best meeting to attend)
It is important that you attend one of the information meetings, and if you are not able to attend, please be sure to contact Andrea Buch.
Tryouts will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 4 at the indoor rowing facilities located at the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center (KFEC).
