WALLER ISD – Students at Waller ISD’s Fields Store Elementary School helped break the Guinness World Record 6th Annual World Sport Stacking Association (WSSA) STACK UP.
412,216 participants from 28 countries took part in what Guinness World Records® terms the “World’s Largest Sport Stacking Event.” During the course of the Guinness World Records Day, sport stackers from all reaches of the world stacked and down stacking various pyramids in prescribed patterns at lightning speed for at least 30 minutes, all combined with a variety of fitness activities.
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, compete in relays and often combine sport stacking with fitness challenges as part of physical education classes.
Last year, 316,736 stackers participated to break the previous year’s STACK UP record of 276,053 stackers. The goal for this year was 350,000 stackers. Fields Store Elementary contributed to the new record of 412,216 by contributing 575 stacks. Once again, tens of thousands of stackers contributed their sport stacking skills from across the United States and around the world in countries such as Germany, Singapore, South Africa, New Zealand, Columbia, Taiwan and Israel. Sport stacking with speed stacks is in more than 34,000 schools and youth organizations worldwide. It’s appealing to teachers and students because it’s easy to learn but very challenging to master. Benefits include improved reaction time, hand-eye coordination, concentration and focus. The WSSA is the governing body for sport stacking and promotes stack meets, leagues and tournaments around the world. Speed Stacks is the official equipment supplier to the WSSA.
