The Creighton Rowing team continued to build on its best performance in program history, second place at the WCC Championships, as the Bluejays host the 8th Annual 2K Challenge in D.J. Sokol Arena on Saturday, January 28.
The event gives members of the community a chance to compete on Rowing Ergometer (ERG) machines in eight different age categories for both men and women as well as three age categories for kids.
Head coach Dan Chipps referred to the event as a "friendraiser as much as a fundraiser" for his program.
The 2K Challenge was moved to June last year due to rising Covid Concerns in the winter, but is returning to its normal time slot in late January or early February for 2023.
