 100 X 1 Mile High School World Record Established  - GTD Episode #003 - Show

After a 100-mile relay dubbed the "Journey of 100 Miles," in which 100 high school students each ran a one-mile leg on the AHS track, the high school has established a world record time of 11 hours, 16 minutes, 4.2 seconds for the distance.

The race began at 8 a.m. and lasted until shortly before 7:30 p.m.

Fifty boys and 50 girls took to the track on Saturday, representing members of the track team as well as the baseball, soccer, softball and tennis teams in a school wide effort to establish the world record.

"We didn't just want this to be about running," Tighe said. "We wanted to have a sense of community which brings people together."

With that in mind, community relay teams, including teachers, policemen, firemen, middle school students, and even Mayor Kevin Dumas ran their own relays on Saturday in support of the high school in a community challenge.
