Rich (OK 1994-00), along with his team, shattered the world record in rowing across the Pacific from California to Hawaii, landing in at their destination after 29 days, 17 hours, and 29 minutes!

Their journey in the 'The Sweat Box'—their aptly named boat—was a testament to their resilience. Despite the relentless heat and the rough ocean waves, they stayed the course and emerged victorious! What a feat!
