NORMAN, Okla., --  The No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners hit the road to begin 2007 when they travel to Grand Prairie, Texas, to compete in the Lone Star Duals.

The Sooners are looking to stay on the winning track after finishing 2006 with a victory against Cal Poly.

Oklahoma will be competing against Marion Military Institute, Navy and Utah Valley State. The Sooners will take on the Marion Military Institute in session one beginning at 8 a.m., Navy in session five at 4 p.m. and Utah Valley State in session six beginning at 6 p.m.

“We are looking forward to the Lone Star Duals after the grind of two-a-days during the break,” said head coach Jack Spates. “We are very optimistic about this weekend.  But were going to have a lot of competitive matches and it will be a challenge.”

The Sooners come into the Duals with six wrestlers ranked in the top 20 of their respective weight classes.

Following this weekend's action, the Sooners travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa, to compete in the NWCA National Duals on Saturday, Jan. 14 and Sunday, Jan. 15.

OU returns home for the first time in the new semester when it hosts Oregon on Jan. 20.
