From Fox News: U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had a record-breaking presence during Navy’s 34-31 win over Air Force Saturday in Annapolis, Maryland.
Hegseth led a pushup brigade with cadets, officers and fans at the game that broke a Guiness World Record. Hegseth’s charge of 3,068 broke the record for most people doing pushups simultaneously for one minute.
Navy not only beat Air Force’s football team, but it also took the pushup record from the Air Force Academy.
The previous record was 2,926, achieved by the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on April 20, 2023, according to Guiness World Records.

Hegseth also delivered a fired-up locker room speech after the Navy’s 34-31 victory over the Air Force, and it is clear he is already beloved by the service members.
