Culminating in another successful season, OU claimed the Big 12 and Conference USA team titles both for the second straight year, including six individual boat conference titles. The Sooners also swept each conference's major awards, with Sooner head coach Leeanne Crain winning Coach of the Year and senior Kristin Clift taking Rower of the Year awards for both conferences.

The Sooners finished the NCAA Championship with 27 points for a No. 19 finish out of 22 teams competing over the weekend. Ohio State won its second straight national title with 126 points.
