NORMAN – The University of Oklahoma rowing team continued its spring season in San Diego this weekend at the 46th annual Crew Classic on Mission Bay.

OU began its weekend of competition on Saturday, competing in varsity eight, varsity four and novice eight preliminary action.

Both the first novice eight and first varsity four boats advanced to Sunday's grand finals, while the first and second varsity eight boats qualified for petite finals.

Next on the water was OU's second varsity eight, claiming the win in the collegiate 2V Jackie Ann Stitt Hungness Trophy petite final. The 2V8 finished in 6:58.94 to top Sacramento State, San Diego State, Gonzaga, Tennessee and Loyola Marymount.

In the first varsity eight Jessop-Whittier Cup Invitational final, OU's 1V8 recorded a third-place finish, crossing the line in a time of 6:56.56.
