Oklahoma City University plans to launch the nation’s first collegiate varsity canoe/kayak program in the 2010-2011 academic year. USA Canoe/Kayak sprint national team coach Shaun Caven, who has coached athletes at the Olympic level in Great Britain, will serve as head coach for the program.
OCU’s canoe/kayak program complements the USA Canoe/Kayak’s Under 23 Team that trains at the OKC High Performance Training Center on the Oklahoma River. The center and the OCU program will be housed in one of the finest facilities in the world this fall when the Devon Boathouse opens. Amenities will include an endless pool, sports performance technology and a high-altitude training chamber.
