The Sherman Steichen Memorial Race is put on every year in honor of Nick Steichen and Brett Sherman, former Creighton Physical Therapy and Pharmacy students who passed. Both Nick and Brett were known not only for their aptitude in their professional programs, but also for the way they loved life and shared that with everyone they cam across. Just in their short time at Creighton, they both left lasting impacts on their classmates and faculty inspiring us to carry on their legacies. This race will go on to fund three scholarships in their memory for one Physical Therapy student and two Pharmacy students that embody the kind hearted and generous characteristics that these two possessed. Every year, this is an event filled with lots of joy where we get to celebrate outside of the classroom. We encourage everyone to bring their family, pets, and high energy. We are entering the 27th year of hosting this event and are honored every year by the turn out from the Creighton and Omaha community.
