...tuck it and run right away.” BLOWN AWAY The intense wind conditions on Saturday completely altered the complexion of the contest. Neither team was able to throw downfield effectively, as the squads combined for just 145 passing yards on the afternoon. Despite playing in 15-20 mile per hour winds for most of the afternoon with gusts up to 39 miles per hour, the Crimson’s one downfield completion—a deep ball from Pizzotti to sophomore Marco Iannuzzi in the second quarter—was good for a 39-yard gain, but Iannuzzi...
...pick it up.” Sophomores Nichole Slykhous, Meghan Cleary, and Thea Lee and freshmen Jeanne Mack, Alison Lee, Elizabeth Heller, and Kirsten Jorgenson also competed in the race. For the men, freshman Dan Stiles led the Crimson with a 39th-place, 26:05 finish in the five-mile race, down from his 26:27 finish at Heps.

Some 175 miles away, at a juvenile detention center in Wigan, prisoners and staff took turns running on a treadmill in a bid at setting the fastest time for a collective 100-mile run. In Tokyo, a man dashed 100 meters - on all fours - in under 19 seconds. What did these oddball events have in common? Each was an attempt, on Guinness World Records Day, to enter the tome, which for more than...
...doing more than 27,000 jumping jacks, and has since hop-scotched the globe in search of new marks, tacking on records for rope-skipping (on a pogo stick) at Cambodia's Angkor Wat, hula-hooping at Australia's Ayers Rock, and traveling the entire 12-mile length of Paul Revere's Massachusetts ride in forward rolls.
