Carver/Century Student Attempt To Help Set Guinness World Record
November 14, 2008
Students at Carver/Century K-8 School took part in a Guinness World Record attempt Thursday in the fast paced sport of cup stacking.
During the day, students stacked cups up and down in pyramids and prescribed patterns at lightning speed. Guinness World Records is billing it as the “World’s Largest
Sport Stacking Event.” with more than 175,000 stackers expected to participate around the world.
Sport stacking has been termed a “track meet for your hands at warp speed.” It is 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 and compete in relays.
Last year, an official count of 143,530 stackers participated to break the first STACK UP! record set in 2006. Once again, thousands of stackers are expected to contribute their sport stacking skills from across the United States and around the world in countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia, Singapore and the UK.
According to Mark Lingle, World Sport StackingAssociation Director, 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 handeye coordination, action, teamwork, speed and lots of fun. This is the third year we’ve teamed up with Guinness World Records, and November 13th promises to be our biggest and best event yet.”
It will be several days before the final number of worldwide stackers is available, and it will take time for Guinness to certify the new world record if one was set Thursday.
