By: Athletics Communications

NORMAN – The University of Oklahoma rowing squad travels north to Kansas City, Kan., for Saturday's Big 12 vs. Big Ten Dual at Wyandotte County Lake. The Sooners will team up with Kansas in a conference showdown versus No. 9 Wisconsin and Iowa from the Big Ten.

The dual will feature a conference vs. conference point system along with head-to-head racing. OU will row against Wisconsin in the morning session and Iowa in the afternoon. The Sooners and Jayhawks will work together to score points for the Big 12, but will not race against each other.

For each race, points will be distributed for first and second place, accumulating by conference as well as individual teams. Scored events include Third Varsity Eight/First Novice Eight, Third Varsity Four, Second Varsity Four, First Varsity Four, Second Varsity Eight and First Varsity Eight.

The day will be split into two sessions, beginning at approximately 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Should inclement weather alter the race schedule, updates will be given on Twitter by following @KU_Rowing. Upon completion, a team winner and conference winner will be crowned.
