KNOXVILLE, TENN -- Tennessee had an excellent showing at the Big 12 Double Dual, with the Vols' 1V8 posting the top time of the day and setting a new season best at 6:39.2. The event, held on Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn., featured Tennessee, Alabama, Old Dominion and West Virginia facing off in a series of dual races. The Tennessee team finished first in all its races with the exception of the 2V4+ which was edged out by Alabama.
