La Chat Kermesse 2010 Fitness Challenge Champions




On Saturday the 19th of June 2010 La Chat had its annual Kermesse. The ill advised weather reports didn't keep people from coming out and enjoying the food, great atmosphere, people and festivities. I was fortunate enough to be invited by the lovely ladies at the PTA, Linda Spencer and Paige Finger, to run a Fitness Challenge Booth. We had over 40 kids participant to be the 2010 Kermesse Fitness Challenge Champion in their respected event.

There were three diffent activities set up based on age groups. For the 6-9 year old we had an obstacle course which consisted of a crab walk, jumps over cones, a ball toss and finally a sprint to the finish. The 11-14 year old category had a triple standing broad jump for their event and this was the event with the most participants. Finally for the 15-18 year olds we had a press up competition. Participants were to try to get as many press ups as they could within 60 sec. This competition also got some participants in the 11-14 category that wanted to test their press up strength endurance and proved to be very exciting at the end of the day.

All in all it was a great day with the rain holding off until the end of the day. I wanted to thank all the kids that participated for their great attitudes and effort. Congratulations to the Fitness Challenge Champions which are listed below along with the following top 2 best efforts.

The next two runners up in this age category were Daniel Zito with 34 press ups and Adrian Alejos with 31 press ups.

Our next event was the 11-14 Triple Broad Jump:

There was a lot of great competition but the overall winner was Lewis Thomas with a jump of 7m 29cm.

The runners-up were Marc Rolink with a jump of 6m 84cm, Erik Bergquist with a jump of 6m 81cm and finally Daniel Wariag with a jump of 6m 80cm. I just wanted to mention a great jump by an 11 year old boy name Sam Oswald of 6m 25cm. Great job guys.

Our last category was the 6-10 year old Obstacle Course.

Our Girls Champion was Kiah Williams with a great time of 20.68 seconds
with Jessica Stanton (20.88 seconds) and Rosie Ashworth (23.07 seconds) very close behind.

Our Boys Champion was Clemens Finger with another excellent time of 22.90 with James Goodwin (23.38) and Alberto Ferro (29.45) hot on Clemens heels.

Congratulations once again to all the participants. If you hadn't received your certificate please contact Linda Spencer or Paige Finger.

I hope that I can come back again next year and see all the great kids having fun and crown the new Fitness Challenge Champions!
