Walsh Jesuit High cheerleader Marie Klein setting a new Guinness world record for consecutive handsprings with 40.
Klein’s feat spanned 70 yards — from one 15-yard line to the other — in approximately 30 seconds and was performed during her school’s football game against Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary, which you may recognize as being LeBron James’ alma mater.

"My mom was crying,” she told WalshJesuit.org. "It didn't feel real at times as I did it. I almost passed out, but I kept going. I am real excited to have the record. Now I want to break my own record."
