NORMAN – University of Oklahoma head rowing coach Leeanne Crain and novice coach Emma Gresson announced the 2015-16 OU novice rowing roster on Saturday.

The novice tryout began on Sept. 14 and included six days of training at the OU rowing facility in Norman. Coaches cut the selection down to 54 women who are invited to join the two-time Big 12 and Conference USA champions for the upcoming season.

Gresson said she was impressed with the athletes and is excited to add them to the team.

“We are extremely excited about the potential of this novice class,” Gresson said. “This year we raised the bar during tryouts and these athletes have really impressed us. They have progressed quickly and we can't wait to get them on the water and see what we can accomplish this year.”
