The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that has had lasting impacts on the psyches of today’s high schoolers. Many students at Baldwin High School were required to participate in this physical assessment, which better suits Guantanamo Bay than Harrison Middle School, and most still have flashbacks. Today, a sub two-hour marathon is seen as the seemingly impossible next great barrier in running, when truthfully it should be reaching the end of this test. In a time filled with changing hormones, this stressful and difficult physical evaluation is the last thing that struggling pre-teens need.
