2009 WSSA STACK UP! tops a quarter million
From Malaysia to Maryland, sport stackers from around the world
gathered on Guinness World Records Day to set a new mark for “Most
People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations in One Day.”
They stacked in school gymnasiums, on
playgrounds, in hospitals, libraries, and even at a horse shelter.
Using specially designed plastic cups called Speed Stacks®, stackers
raced against the clock, competed in relays and stacked in a variety of
fitness activities for at least 30 minutes. The number to beat:
222,560. The record-setting count being submitted to Guinness stands at
276,053 representing 1,252 schools and organizations from 24 different
countries. All 50 states in the US were represented.
"We hoped to reach a quarter million, and we
cruised right past that," said Mark Lingle, Director of the World Sport
Stacking Association, which organised the event. “Next year we’ll shoot
for 300,000.”
The stacking action was part of the annual WSSA STACK UP! presented by Wonderful® Pistachios and Speed Stacks, Inc.
