Employees of the Vernon County Sheriff's Office partnered with the YMCA to hold a push-up contest to help encourage VCSO staff to participate in the agencies YMCA membership/fitness program. They also wanted to see if they could raise funds for the Children's Center in the process.

The push-up contest was a one-hour event where participants could do any number of push-ups any time within the one-hour period. The totals were posted to a board during the event. "This caused some great friendly competition and made it fun for everyone, said Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher. The winners of the event won a prize and the 1st place winner was also awarded a "2022 Push-Up Champion trophy."

The winners were as follows:

1st place - Chief Deputy Travis Cole (550 push-ups)

2nd place - Detention Officer Sarina Eaton  (451 push-ups)

3rd place - Lt Tycher Blakely (433 Push-ups)

VCSO performed a total of 2,962 push-ups during the event and raised just over $600 for the Children's Center.

Sheriff Mosher would like to thank all the businesses that helped sponsor this event.
