Maine Gym Teacher Sinks 1,516 Threes in an Hour, Seeks Guinness Confirmation

Guinness is reviewing evidence following a packed Saco Middle School event that doubled as a fundraiser.

Overview

  • Ryan Martin, a Saco Middle School physical education teacher, reportedly made 1,516 of 1,683 three-pointers in one hour.
  • The target to beat was 1,372 from the high school three-point line, and his total surpassed that mark.
  • Guinness World Records has not yet verified the result, leaving the potential third title pending.
  • Martin battled a severe side cramp around the 28-minute mark and credited loud crowd support led by teacher Nick Wilson for helping him continue.
  • He previously set Guinness-recognized marks for most NBA-line threes in an hour (1,134) and most free throws in an hour (2,494), and he has expressed interest in attempting a half-court record next.
