Omaha, Neb. -- On the morning of February 8 at 7:30 a.m., during Creighton Rowing's 10th Annual 2K Challenge, friend of the program Nancy McCormick will attempt to break a World Record in D.J. Sokol Arena. Already the record holder in the 85-89 age range, the 90-year-old McCormick is hoping to add another age group mark to her trophy case.
McCormick set the record for the U.S. 1,000-meter rowing challenge in the 85-89 age range group back in 2020 at the annual fundraising event, with the training help of a Creighton Rowing assistant coach. She cut the previous record in half, but missed the international record by only a few seconds.
