NORMAN, Okla. -- The Oklahoma rowing team swept all five of its races against rival Texas on the second and final day of the Longhorn Invitational in Austin, Texas, on Sunday.

OU's first varsity eight finished the 2,000-meter race in 6:37.9 ahead of their Texas counterparts' time of 6:42.71. The second varsity eight added another win, completing the race in 6:46.9, well ahead of Texas at 6:58.82.

Both varsity four boats continued their weekend of wins, with the first varsity four finishing in 7:28.10, faster than Texas's 7:32.93, and the second varsity four racing to a time of 7:39.80 in a close race that saw Texas come in second at 7:40.18.

The third varsity eight ensured its perfect weekend with a time of 7:04.00, just ahead of the Longhorns' 7:06.65. Competing against Kansas State's 4V8, the Sooners' fourth varsity eight lost by just seventh-tenths of a second, 7:08.81 to 7:08.10.
