Law & Oarder, Phillips Murrah’s rowing team, gets ready to compete in the 2018 Oklahoma Regatta Festival.
Phillips Murrah’s rowing team Law & Oarder ended the Fall 2018 season on top and scored gold medals in the annual regatta competition.
The team competed on Sept. 28 at the 2018 Oklahoma Regatta Festival held at the OKC Boathouse District and achieved a 500-meter run of 2:05:39.
“Another great season, and I think the main thing we learned as a team is to never underestimate your competition,” said Deena Baker, Legal Assistant and Law & Oarder team captain. “Regardless, a gold medal and trophy for the team it was!”
In all nine seasons the Firm’s rowing team has competed, team members consisted of both attorneys and staff members.
“The team worked really hard all season,” said Bradley Burt, Legal Assistant. “We had some changes in the seating configuration as well as multiple rained out practices, but the team overcame a lot of adversity and practiced indoors even when it was not necessary allowing us to perform to the best of our abilities.”
“I am ecstatic that competing to the best of our abilities led us to the gold medal.”
The team will resume practice in the Spring for the Stars & Stripes Festival in June 2019.
