by Ilyssa Weiner
Oswego, NY- Today meteorologist Al Roker (‘76) will be returning to his alma mater to break a world record. Oswego State will be the last stop on “Rokerthon 3” and Today’s “Storming Into the Madness” college tour.
Roker will be returning to campus to break the Guinness World Record for the longest conga line on ice.
The current record is 353 skaters, held by the Ice Rink Canary Wharf in the United Kingdom. They have been holding this record since 2013.
Oswego State is looking for more than 400 students to help break this record. It will be broadcasted live on Today on Mar. 31. Participants are asked to arrive at the Marano Campus Center arena by five a.m.
To sign up, fill out this Google form with your Oswego State email.
If you are not interested in skating but still want to see the record broken, fans will be able to watch from the arena seats in their green and gold gear from seven to nine a.m. -
