The stakes where high Wednesday afternoon for physics students at Dixon High School: no year-end final if they could walk on water.
It was the 11th year the challenge was put before the nearly 100 juniors and seniors in physics and AP physics classes.
Outfitted with milk cartons, PVC pipe, soda bottles, paint cans, beach balls, storage bins and plenty of duct tape, 12 of the 21 contraptions were successful in their voyage to send a student “walking” from one side of the city pool to the 20-yard mark on the other side in less than two minutes.
