ACCORDING TO JUDGES, DESPITE THE CHALLENGES, THIS GROUP SET SEVERAL STATE, NATIONAL, AND WORLD RECORDS, RECORDS BASED ON THE ALTITUDE THE JUMP FROM, 33,000 FEET, FREE FALL DISTANCE, AND THE SIZE OF THE GROUP. ANYTIME YOU DO ANYTHING THAT BREAKS A WORLD RECORD, IT'S A BIG DEAL. IT'S EXCITING AND YOU GET YOUR NAME IN THE RECORD BOOKS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS ALWAYS THERE. I'M THE ONLY WOMAN TO DO THIS.
