Concrete Canoe

        Concrete Canoe is a one of a kind competition!  Yes, the team actually builds a canoe out of concrete and races it against other schools!  The regional competition was held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from April 19-21. We had a blast this year, and are already planning for next year. There is room on next year's team for more members, so if you are interested in being a part of this exciting activity contact either asce.ku@gmail.com or Andy at atpetz@ku.edu.

Our 2012 team leaders were:

    Captain is Andy Petz.
    Co-Captain is Troy Sallee





The 2012 Concrete Canoe Team: Jeremy Boger, Miranda Sloan,
Jennifer Penfield, Zach Ceman, Andrew Lichter, Troy Sallee, Andy Petz,
Peter Gaskamp, Caitlin Perry, and Jordan Perlmutter.

The water isn't from leaks, just a little splashing.
