NORMAN – The No. 20 Oklahoma rowing team finishes the spring regular season in Austin, Texas, this weekend at the annual Longhorn Invitational. The regatta, hosted by the University of Texas, features eight schools and will take place on Walter E. Long Lake in Austin.

The Sooners will compete in varsity eight and varsity four competition on Friday and Saturday beginning at 6:20 p.m. CT Friday evening. Session I is scheduled to run from 6:20 p.m. until 8 p.m tonight before the finals session begins at 7 a.m. on Saturday. Results will be available via HereNOW.

OU returns to the water after only getting to participate in one race at the Clemson Invitational last weekend due to inclement weather canceling the regatta.

The Sooners posted a solid performance at the 46th annual Crew Classic in San Diego on April 5-6. The Sooners were impressive in their second regatta of the spring, collecting one victory and four top-five finishes in finals' races.

The team begins postseason competition May 18-19 in Oak Ridge, Tenn., at the 2019 Big 12 Rowing Championship on Melton Hill Lake.
