OKC Becomes US Olympic Training Site

[Conan71]

Don't know how I missed this before, I was just emailed by one of my rowing team mates that OKC will be the official olympic training site for rowing, kayaking, and canoeing.  As well, there's paralympic training at UCO in Edmond.  It was previously announced that the new UCO boat house would be a training site for the US Rowing national team, slightly different deal than the olympic teams.  I believe they actually did the US olympic team kayaking trials at OKC last year.

Back in the 80's at the B'ville Aquatic Center, was that training or trials they held there? I just remember thinkg it seemed odd to hold it there of all of the other places in the US, but though maybe the centralized location was the payoff.
