NORMAN — University of Oklahoma head rowing coach Sarah Trowbridge announced the program’s 2024 spring schedule Monday, a slate that features three home events.
“This is a young team with some experienced upperclassmen who are excited to race,” Trowbridge said. “They are looking forward to the depth of teams we are seeing and the run up to our last Big 12 Championship.”
The Sooners kick off their spring season March 22 by hosting Kansas in Oklahoma City. They will then meet SMU and reigning back-to-back NCAA champion Texas on March 23 and 24 at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.
OU will conclude its March schedule back in Oklahoma City by welcoming Wisconsin, which placed sixth at the 2023 Big Ten Championship, on March 30. The final two regular season away regattas will take place in Sarasota, Fla., at the Big Ten Invitational (April 19-20) and in Lowell, Ore., at the Dexter Lake Invite (April 27). The squad closes the regular season May 4 in Oklahoma City with a regatta versus Central Oklahoma.
The postseason will begin May 19 at the Big 12 Rowing Championship at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Fla.. The Sooners took fourth at last year’s Big 12 Championship, and Andjela Nisevic and Lale Edil earned All-Big 12 honors following the regatta.
The Big 12 champion will automatically qualify for the 2024 NCAA Rowing Championships, to be held May 30-June 2 in Bethel, Ohio. Other teams will be selected on an at-large basis for the championships.
All home regattas will take place on the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City.
