Charging past the competition, participants exceeded the limits, breaking several state records.

Shanetta March recalled, It was so thrilling to break the record because we'd worked toward it for so long. We couldn't have done it without the tremendous support from our other team members. The guys were also busy set- ting goals, 'flndividually we are all setting new, personal records and goals to work towards.
