Physical Challenge 2024

Students at Manalapan High School took part in the New Jersey State Police Top Physical Challenge today. Officers from the state police were on hand to oversee the challenges and explained that this program emphasizes the importance of physical fitness, particularly in the law enforcement career. Many of today's participants are students in the Law Enforcement and Public Safety Magnet Program. 

Participants took on five challenges: sit-ups, push-ups, flex arm hang, broad jump, and shuttle run. Each student was scored based on their performance and those who landed in the top tier would be awarded a gold challenge coin. There were also gold, silver, and bronze patches for students ranking just under the gold challenge coin level.
