Daria Twarowski is new master of the monkey bars. This 7-year-old first grader was honored Friday for completing a record 37 round trips on the monkey bars, outscoring 400,000 students in 40 states for the national champ position.
From Chicago Sun-Times article by Teresa Sewell:
It gets your arm strong.
Gracefully leaping from each of the 11 bars on a span nearly 12 feet in the air, Daria seemed confident and focused at a demonstration for the press Friday. She said she had practiced in the summer at a nearby park.
"I think Daria is incredible," said Kennedy Principal Kim Boryszewski. "I couldn't be happier for her."
Daria said she wasn't tired after setting the record. It took her about half an hour to finish the 37 trips. She quit because she was bored, she said.
