Elk Grove Citizen : Feature Story

Elk Grove Citizen : Feature Story:

"Good physical health is only a hop, skip and a jump away for Elk Grove students who broke a world record on Feb. 1 for the most students jumping rope at one time.

The Jamba Jump Day Event challenged 80,000 students across California to jump rope for 10 minutes to break the world record held by Australia of 59,000 jumpers, and earn a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

California students succeeded and surpassed the goal.

Sponsored by Jamba Juice and California Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (CAHPERD), organizers say the event actually brought out 88,000 jumpers."
