The Tulsa Lightweight 4+ and Lightweight 8+ boats both earned second-place finishes in the Petite Final at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championship at Lake Mercer in West Windsor, N.J.

"Both boats got better throughout the weekend, and as a head coach, that is what you want from your team," Head Coach Kevin Harris said. "We competed well and I am proud of what these women were able to accomplish. I am sad that this was the last race for some of these women. They have taken the crew a long way in the last four years and what they leave behind is a legacy of lightweight rowing at Tulsa. Now we get ready to race in England at the Reading Amateur Regatta and Henley Women's Regatta in a few weeks."

The Lightweight 8+, which included Angela Metzler, Jamie Roloff, Emalia Seto, Marissa Catalanotto,Colleen Wohlrab, Abigail Elggren, Paige Hibbard, Patrizia Perazzo and Lindsay Crute, turned in a time of 7:00.06, trailing Villanova by two seconds, but pushing through MIT by .03 seconds.

Kaitlyn Schneider, Gabriela Tucker, Sarah Robinson, Stephanie Call and Becca Renteria finished second behind Georgetown with a time of 8:17.38.
