At Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan., the K-State rowing team pulled off a clean sweep of their arch-rivals from down the river, capturing a 22-0 win in the 2019 Dillons Sunflower Showdown. All five boats crossed the finish line ahead of their Jayhawk counterparts in a comprehensive beatdown not seen in seven years (a 20-0 win in 2012).
