JULY 5-6 IS A NO GO
After much thought and hard work by Trey Southerland, UWP has decided to not move forward with the July 5-6 race. We would personally like to thank Trey for his time and energy that he put into the proposed event in Oklahoma City, OK. We would also like to thank the Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau and the USA Rowing Facility.
