Total Team Meters 8,754,297

February 12, 2024: Nearly eighty alumni, students & friends pitched in to row 8,754,297 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 30th place out of 735 teams -- slightly ahead of last year's 33rd place finish! Thank you to everyone that participated.

The combined Case/SARA team beat the combined UC student and alumni team from University of Chicago by over 3 million meters -- a crushing result! We also took top honors for the "education" category amongst all teams for another year in a row. Congratulations to everyone that completed the 200km challenge and got hats this year!

Leading the charge for SARA this year were alumni Dan Bachmann and Luke Fakult with both logging over 300km - again! The top undergraduate finisher was Emma Joseph in 16th place overall and 200,654m. Twenty-three people passed the 200km mark this year to earn a free hat. Congratulations to everyone and a special thank you to the 20 alumni earning their 2023 hat.
