## Caption

Hundreds of skydivers who took to the skies over LaSalle County on Friday August 22 proclaimed victory by setting a world record.⁠
⁠
After five days of challenging weather conditions, 174 athletes broke the 164-Way Vertical World Record, which was set 10 years ago, Skydive Chicago said in a Facebook post.⁠
⁠
But that wasn't all they set out to do.⁠
⁠
A second group attempted to accomplish a goal of their own; that group tried to break the 250 Way Illinois State Record where they fly in the belly to earth position.⁠
⁠
Elite and experienced skydivers from 53 countries are being hosted by Skydive Chicago in LaSalle County.⁠
