Total Team Meters 2,387,724

February 3, 2012: Twenty-three alumni & friends pitched in to row 2,387,724 meters in the annual C2 January Virtual Team Challenge (JVTC). For the challenge rowers had to row as many meters as possible between January 1 and January 31 then log their daily meters using the Concept 2 Logbook. The results were then ranked against other teams. The SARA team finished in 47th place out of 330 teams with each member averaging over 100,000m! Thank you to everyone that participated.

This year marked the third time a concerted effort was made to log meters for this challenge and the third time we bested our URA rivals from the University of Chicago. We beat their alumni team, but were passed by the students (a separate ranking group) who pulled 100km more meters.

Leading the charge for SARA was CWRU Assistant Dean Ken Klika who took top honors with 352,451 meters! Family DelBarba (father Brian and son Patrick) also teamed up to pull a combined total of 490,770 meters. Six people broke the 200km mark and earned a free Case Crew hat (see below) – including the first ever alumna to break 200k for the challenge, Kelli Anderson.
