Chattanooga, Tenn. – The University of Oklahoma women's rowing team finished its last day of fall competition at The Head of the Hooch Sunday. Two of the six Sooner boats fielded finished in the top 10 including the Sooners' best finish at the regatta in the open pair.
"I'm really proud of how our top end varsity athletes performed this weekend,” Head Coach Leeanne Crain said. “This was an extremely competitive field an to have five of our boats in the top 10 is a good indication that our efforts in practice are paying off."

The second boat, led by Melea McCreary, finished 16th (23:26.4). The Sooners finished behind Duke (“A” 20:09.5, “B” 20:40.9, “C” 21:27.5) and Kansas (“A” 20:31.7, “B” 20:56.8, “C” 21:00, “D” 21:16.5)
