The results of the 25th annual Coach McGhee Fitness Challenge are in! Eight Wildcats took home the title of 2025 Fitness Challenge Champion.
Over the course of the 2024-25 school year, over 150 students took part in the challenge, which emphasized five key exercises: the broad jump, sit-ups, push-ups, biking, and chest press. Champions were determined based on their performance relative to their peers within each grade level in these exercises.
Founded by Coach McGhee in 2000, this annual fitness challenge invites all Upper School P.E. students to participate in order to test and enhance endurance, strength, and power.
