2026-2027 Competition series schedule

Bench Press Rep Off

The Washburn University Bench Press Rep-Off is a fun and competitive strength challenge that tests participants' upper-body muscular endurance. Participants perform as many repetitions as possible on the bench press using a predetermined weight while maintaining proper form. Winners are determined by the highest number of successful repetitions completed.

Squatober

Squatober is a month-long fitness challenge designed to build strength and consistency. Each week, participants will be assigned a different squat variation to perform. Participants earn points by completing the weekly squat challenge. Whether you're new to squatting or an experienced lifter, Squatober is a fun way to improve lower-body strength and stay motivated throughout the month.

WU Mini-Triathlon

This fun competition will assess your cardiovascular endurance and will compare your results to others in your age range on campus. The competition will run just like a Triathlon, once the time starts it will continue to run until you finish. You must complete the distances for each event: rowing, bike and treadmill plus the transition periods.
