Coral Gables, Fla.–The Miami Hurricanes rowing team heads to Oak Ridge, Tenn., on Sunday (May 15) to compete at the Oak Ridge Invitational to close out the 2011 season. Races on Melton Lake begin at 9 a.m.

Along with Miami, nine other schools are competing—No. 11 Clemson, Duke, Louisville, No. 20 Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tulsa and UCF and No. 5 Virginia.

“We will have very tough competition this weekend,” said head coach Andrew Carter.  “The toughest we’ve faced, top to bottom. It’s a pretty sure bet that there will be more than one of these programs heading to the NCAA Championships after this regatta so it will a strong test for our young squad.”
