Boot of the Oklahoma!

Need a hotel room at the Hooch??

The varsity rowers will be traveling and competing at the Head of the Hooch in Chattanooga, TN November 5th-8th. Hotel rooms are being booked quickly. If you are planning on traveling to Chattanooga to cheer on the OCU Stars and need a room, you may be in luck. Kat's parents, Julia Branch and Joe Hill, have reserved two rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn, but they only need one. Let me know if you would like the other, and I will put you in touch with them.

Best Regatta in Town

Attention rowers, friends, family and fans. Thanks to all of you, OCU and the Chesapeake Boathouse, the Boot of the Oklahoma has made the final 5 in the US Rowing poll "Best Race in Town." Vote for the Stars and OKC here ( we are currently in 3rd and that is unacceptable):

Thank you

The OCU coaching staff would like to thank all the parents and rowers for your help and support during the Boot of the Oklahoma 2009!

The Steenburgh's, Slattery's, Mahon's, Mike Hagen, Verena Mulder, Joel Hill & Julia Branch, and Stephanie Hibbs (and Herman) all traveled from out of state to cheer on the OCU Stars. Thanks to our local parents the Tullos's, Hurley's, Riesenberg's, Meyer's and Gibson's for keeping the rower food tent well stocked. A special thanks to Julia Branch for doing everything from manning the food tent to carrying boats and oars. We are grateful to have you all as part of the OCU rowing family.

The OCU Rowers logged over 100 hours of volunteer hours during the clean-up of the regatta and in the words of the Chesapeake Boathouse Vice-President, Elizabeth Laurent, "Thank those OCU rowers for me. They were a tremendous help, and we could not have done it without them."
