WESTMINSTER — It’s “officially amazing!”

The Guinness Book of World Records has made it official: Bellows Falls Union High School senior Ariana Wunderle of Rockingham has set a world record in high-heeled tightrope walking.

Wunderle, 18, set the record on May 16 during an event at the high school’s Holland Gymnasium. Her record is 639 feet, 7 inches (194.983 meters).

Wunderle has been performing on the tightrope since she was a child, and has performed with the Vermont-based Circus Smirkus for years.

This latest performance was a fundraiser for the circus.
