No. 11 Alabama Rowing Ready for Dual Meet Against No. 8 Tennessee in Oak Ridge
The dual meet, previously slated to take place in Tuscaloosa, was moved to Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Despite a late venue change, 11th-ranked Alabama will still compete in a dual meet against No. 8 Tennessee on Saturday, March 20 with four races starting at 8 a.m. CT.
The Crimson Tide and Lady Vols were slated to compete on the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa but storms and rain during the week flooded the river and increased the current to dangerous speeds, forcing a venue change. The teams will now head to Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn., where the Tide just competed last weekend at the Oak Ridge Cardinal Invitational.
