Well-known former teacher and ‘plankster’ rewrites Guiness World Record

It’s all unofficial, at this point, but a former Magrath high school teacher, Donna Jean Wilde, may have established a new mark for Planking. 

In 2024, then 58, DonnaJean set a Guiness Book world record for the longest abdominal plank by a female at just over four hours, 30 minutes. 

Invited by organizers of the Huntsman World Senior Games in Utah, her son, Ray, says his Mom beat the old benchmark Tuesday pushing it to five hours. 

To make it all official, though, Ray says they’ll need to send the video of the feat to Guiness to have it officially verified.
