The Texas Longhorns won the first-ever SEC Rowing Championship early Sunday morning, beating out competitors Tennessee, Alabama and Oklahoma.
The event was held at Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, just outside of Knoxville. Before Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC only Tennessee and Alabama boasted a rowing program, not enough to hold a championship of any sort.
