July 14 (UPI) — A Kentucky 9-year-old earned a Guinness World Records title by drawing and completing a 10-square hopscotch course in under 50 seconds.
Bowling Green boy Daxton Hunter, 9, said he was inspired to pursue a world record by his father and brother, who each have their own Guinness World Records titles.
“My dad got one for biking most states. My brother for one just a few months back — so I’m like, ‘Oh, well if my whole entire family is going to get one, why can’t I get one?'” Hunter told WBKO-TV.
Hunter researched potential records to break, and landed on the fastest time to draw and complete a hopscotch run.
He managed to draw the 10-square hopscotch course, number it and complete it in 48.27 seconds, enough to officially take the record in the under-16s category.
“I knew he could tackle challenges because he likes to do hard things, and once he sets a goal, I know he’s going to do it. So, he picked one, he set his goal, and it’s great to see that’s how he accomplished it,” mother Amelia Hunter said.
