St. Charles pupils try for stacking record
BOARDMAN — Amy Vinopal of Boardman can run through a 12-cup stacking routine in about 15 or 16 seconds, enough to be declared the fastest girl stacker in her physical education class at St. Charles School.
It’s tougher than it looks, she said after running through the routine of “upstacking” and “downstacking” the dozen special cups in a strict order during which her hands were just a blur.
“I’m getting there,” the eighth-grader said, after being advised that the world record for the routine is just 7.5 seconds.
A total of 120 St. Charles pupils took part in a worldwide attempt today to break the Guinness World Record for the number of people involved in sport stacking (as the practice is called) at multiple locations in a single day.
The event was sponsored by the World Sport Stacking Association, the governing body for what is a growing phenomenon.
