Kansas will host the first-ever Big 12 Championship Saturday at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan.

The regatta begins at 10 a.m. with the singing of the National Anthem and the first race begins at 10:15 a.m. Since Oklahoma added rowing as a varsity sport, bringing the conference total to four, the Big 12 now lends its name to the season’s final event. Kansas, Oklahoma, Kansas State and Texas will compete for the Big 12 championship trophy.

“We’re really excited as the host team for the first Big 12 Championship for rowing,” coach Rob Catloth said in a statement. “For us, Kansas State, and Texas we feel like it’s a long time coming.”
