K.I.D. Elementary students to participate in world record attempt
NOBLE -- Students at Katherine I. Daily Elementary will attempt to help set a Guinness World Record Thursday by sport stacking.
The fourth annual event will be in nearly 1,500 schools and is sanctioned by the Guinness Book of World Records. At last year's World Sport Stacking Association annual "Stack up!" 222,560 stackers representing 1,343 schools and organizations from 13 countries and all 50 U.S. states stacked together to set a new world record.
About 208 first-grade students at K.I.D., 500 S. 5th St. in Noble, will participate in sport stacking 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
During the course of the day, each sport stacker will be up stacking and down stacking specially designed cups called Speed Stacks in prescribed patterns at lightning speed for at least 30 minutes. Stackers race against the clock, compete in relays and stack in a variety of fitness activities.
Sport Stacking is an individual and team sport that originated in the early 1980s in Southern California and was originally known as "cup stacking." Today, it is a full-fledged sport governed by the WSSA.
The stack-tacular sport is practiced in more than 30,000 schools and youth organizations around the world, promoting hand-eye coordination, ambidexterity, quickness, concentration and fun.
Mark Lingle, WSSA director, said the Guinness event is a great platform to bring together sport stackers across the globe.
"Sport stacking is an activity enjoyed by all ages and cultures. It promotes hand-eye coordination, fitness, teamwork, speed and lots of fun," he said.
