State Rep. Grier Martin shows off his jump-roping skills at Washington GT Magnet elementary in Raleigh this morning.
Martin was one of several legislators, including Sen. Janet Cowell, Rep. Jennifer Weiss, Rep. Deborah Ross, Rep. Nelson Dollar and Wake school board member Anne McLaurin, that went to the school to learn about an athletics program.
But Martin was the only one to compete and make it to the final rounds. Most dropped out after the stretching was done.
His jump roping skills impressed third grader Bowen Beaty, 9, right. "He is pretty good for an elected offical" said Beaty "because usually they just sit around and make laws." (Ethan Hyman)
