Rosarian Academy Students Help Set New STACK UP! Guinness World Record
West Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) November 24, 2015 -- Rosarian Academy Lower School students participated in 2015 STACK UP! to set a new Guinness Book of World Records in Sport Stacking on November 12, 2015. Over 3,100 schools from across the United States and around the world in countries such as Hungary, Germany, Israel, South Korea, New Zealand, Columbia, and Taiwan worked together to beat last year’s number of 592,292 stackers. With a tally of 618,235 verified stackers as of November 23rd, this year’s goal of 610,000 stackers was surpassed with the help of 170 Rosarian students.
For three consecutive years, Rosarian Academy Lower School students have helped break the World Record for “Most People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations in One Day!” The entire Rosarian Lower School, kindergarten through grade four, participated in the 2013, 2014, and 2015 STACK UP!
Sport stacking has been termed a “track meet for your hands at warp speed.” It’s an exciting sport where students up stack and down stack 12 specially designed cups called Speed Stacks in predetermined sequences as fast as they can. Stackers race against the clock, compete in relays and often combine sport stacking with fitness challenges as part of physical education classes.
