Congratulations to the Concordia Seminary Stair Climb team! The team placed third in the Fight for Air Climb at Metropolitan Square in St. Louis April 1, 2017.

The three fastest climbers on the team were Ahren Reiter (5:03), Jared Townley (6:10) and David Edwards (6:18), and Audrey Schaffer won her age category! Captain Dr. Richard Marrs, director of the Master of Divinity and Residential Alternate Route programs, and second-year student Coleman Geraci also participated in the ultimate hour-long climb, racing up the tower six times and five times, respectively. The Seminary team raised $5,000 for the American Lung Association. Nice work team!
