LPJ Women

Open Challenge:
Once again the excitement and competitive level was acute to say the least! The final 2500-meter relay raised the roof as each team cheered their mates to shave every second and once again the race came down to the 'hand-off' that determined the ultimate winners. Now the rivalry turns to the water as these teams prepare for the Spring Sprint season.


Women’s Division: Lincoln Park Juniors (LPJ)
Going into the Challenge Relay, LPJ held the lead by 4.03 seconds over defending champs Marquette University. LPJ’s relay time of 08:28.01 guaranteed victory and the right to ‘gloat’ over beating university teams and establishing a new record in the process. CIRC recommends an on-water match race to settle the question: They can erg but can they row?
