NORMAN – Oklahoma rowing is set to compete in the Lake Wheeler Invite in Raleigh, N.C., this weekend, with competition slated to start in the morning on Friday, April 22 and conclude Saturday, April 23.

The Sooners' will race five boats against a field of sixteen teams. Among them are three ranked opponents and four programs that are currently receiving votes in the CRAC/Pocock poll. Kansas will be the only other Big 12 school represented.

It is the third running of the regatta which is co-hosted annually by North Carolina and Duke, but it will be the first time OU has taken part in the event.

Races will be split up into three sessions across the two-day competition. The first OU boat will hit the water at 11:24 a.m. CT on Friday.
