History
In 1995, women’s rowing was made an official varsity sport at the University of Kansas under the head-coaching of Rob Catloth. Kansas Rowing amalgamated with the Conference USA in 2009. In Kansas Rowing’s time as an official varsity sport, they have collected wins in six Big 12 championships, three conference USA championships, and two NCAA regionals. KU boats also won national championships in 1994 and 2002.The team is currently under the Big 12 Conference as a Power 5 school, sharing in the long-time rivalry between The University of Kansas and Kansas State University.

Location
The crew is currently located at the University of Kansas Boathouse off Burcham Park and the Kansas River. The home course for the crew contains a 5,000-meter stretch of water with an I-70 bridge mid-course. The team has hosted 4,000-meter home races, utilizing the Kansas River stretch, most notably the Jayhawk Jamboree, a fall head race.

Established in January 2009, The University of Kansas Boathouse is approximately 14,000 square feet. The boathouse is built with several boat bays that can host a total of 65 boat shells.

Jayhawk Jamboree
The first annual Jayhawk Jamboree was hosted on October 20, 2013, as a revitalizer to the 19th century Western National Fair. Prior to the 2013 Jamboree, the Kansas Rowing program had not hosted an official home event since 2005. The Western National Fair first opened on September 13, 1880, at Bismark Grove along the Kansas River .The University of Kansas Boathouse now stands on the previous site of Bismark Grove. The Western National Fair, otherwise known as the Old Bismark Festival, included a rowing regatta. Jayhawk coaching staff created the Jayhawk Jamboree in memory of this past event. The Jayhawk Jamboree is a 4,000-meter head race with a time-trial formatting. Each boat is launched approximately 15 seconds apart and the boat with the fastest time wins the race.

The Jayhawk Jamboree reached its largest peak in 2016, with twelve teams and 152 boats racing. The event included the following varsity and club teams: the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Creighton University, University of Oklahoma, Wichita State University, University of Colorado, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Drake University, University of Iowa, University of Tulsa and the University of Central Oklahoma.
