ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) – Eighth graders from South Science and Technology testing their physical fitness to get the Presidential Fitness Award.

With the help of the Ohio National Guard, the students headed out to Spartan Stadium to get their baseline results in the one-mile run, pull-ups, sit-ups, and other activities. The fitness program helps teach the students how to maintain physical activity and how to set goals to improve their numbers. This is a year-long program where they will track their numbers to see their progress.
