“Kurt Angle Ultimate Teen Machine Challenge” pits teenagers from local high schools in 4 fun strength and fitness events ranging from the Bench Press, Sled Pull, Sand Bag Relay to a motorcycle quad push. This thrilling competition has teens cheering their peers’ battling it out in these fun strength and condition events. The Teen Men’s Division money awards will be given to 1st through 5th place. The Teen Woman’s Division money awards will be given to 1st through 3rd place.
In 2008 we awared over $5000 dollars in prize money to teens. The money awards go directly to support your local athletic or youth programs (i.e. Cheerleading, Football, Soccer, Wrestling, Baseball or other.) Competitors on each team must be between the ages of 13 and 19. In order to keep the competition fair we have both a Teen Men’s and Teen Woman’s division. All events are based off of a participant’s bodyweight. Each participating teen team will need to field four (4) teen athletes.
Vehicle Push One Teen will push his or her team a motorcycle quad in a straight line down the course until the front of the vehicle crosses the finish line. The fastest times in the run wins
The Sled Pull: Two students from each team will pull hand over hand as fast as they can a weighted sled with his or her own body weight from the starting line to the finish line. The fastest times in total win.
