Go to Chaifetz Arena tomorrow, Sept. 17, to try and break the world record for most simultaneous handstands. At no cost gymnasts and non-gymnasts are going to try and beat the 2,402 record set in 2005. The activities start at 11 a.m. and run to 1 p.m. There is no cost but donations to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network will be accepted. Seems like SLU is in a record breaking mood lately, so let’s go for one more!
