Iowa Hawkeye fans succeeded in breaking the Guinness world record for the largest organized Hokey-Pokey dance, according to an announcement at the Sept. 4 football game.

The event was held Sept. 3 at the Iowa River Landing as a part of Fry Fest, and 7,384 Hawkeye fans gathered to break the record, which was previously around 4,000.
