OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — The University of Alabama rowing team wrapped up competition at the Big 12 Championships on Sunday at Melton Hill Lake by earning its first-ever medals at the conference championships. Alabama also produced an all-conference rower as Crimson Tide senior Olivia Dennis was selected to the 2016 Big 12 All-Conference Team.
Alabama competes in rowing in the Big 12 Championships because the Southeastern Conference does not sponsor rowing. The Tide finished seventh with 15 points in the overall team standings. Texas won the league title and the Big 12's automatic bid into the NCAA Championships.
