SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- California school kids are jumping. Ten of thousands of students across the Golden State tried to jump their way to a new Guinness record yesterday. Organizers say more than 88,000 people participated at more than 500 schools. That would easily beat the current record of 59,000 jump ropers set in Australia. The results still have to be certified by the Guinness people. The mass jump was sponsored by Jamba Juice and the California Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance -- to raise awareness about physical fitness.
