RALEIGH, N.C. — The Tulsa rowing team completed its regular season Saturday morning at the Lake Wheeler Invitational, completing the three-round, two-day regatta on Lake Stevens in Raleigh, N.C., in preparations for the Big 12 Championship on May 18.

Tulsa's four boats raced against some of the nation's best Friday through Saturday morning. The Golden Hurricane and the Kansas Jayhawks were the only Big 12 programs to participate in the 18-team field. TU beat the Jayhawks in three of four races.

TU's 2V4 boat, coxed by true freshman Aubrey Duggan, had its best showing on round three Saturday morning, improving in each round and capping off the weekend with a 7:43.547 mark for fourth place.

Coxing the Hurricane's 1V4 crew was true freshman Gizelle Medina, who led her team to a weekend-best 7:35.179 in the third round on Saturday morning.

The Hurricane's 2V8 boat took third in each of the three rounds, enjoying its best time of 6:46.220 in round No. 3. Junior Anna Lackner took on the responsibility of coxswain.

Tulsa's best placements came from its 1V8 boat, which was coxed by junior Bri Gfroerer. She led her squad to runner-up finishes in the first and third rounds and a third-place mark in the second round. TU's top boat's best official time was 6:31.267 in Saturday's third round, less than two seconds behind No. 24 North Carolina's 1V8 vessel (6:29.543).
