Fifty local middle school students competed Friday for thousands of dollars in grants to support their schools through a fitness challenge called What Moves U.
Five local middle schools each sent 10 students to participate in the fitness challenge at One Buccaneer Place: Stewart Middle Magnet, Liberty Middle, Mulrennan Middle, Pierce Middle and Webb Middle.
What Moves U is a national campaign of the National Football League and the American Heart Association to inspire children to become more physically active.
The grants awarded to the winning schools will benefit their physical education programs and help buy athletics equipment.
The participants in Friday's challenge were selected to represent their schools based on academic and athletic achievements.
