Massive loom band bracelet lands local teen a world record
By Jennifer Wake

When Lafayette resident Katie Dougherty was in fifth grade, rainbow looms were all the rage.
Dougherty, a junior at Campolindo High School, spent nearly five months making a 6,600-foot loom band bracelet that landed her a Guiness World Record. "I started by making a jump rope and it grew from there. I stopped for a few years and picked it back up my freshman year," Dougherty said. She and several friends spent roughly four hours on Nov. 17, 2019 laying the bracelet out on the Campolindo football field - 22 times across the field, 11 trips up and 11 trips back.
The bracelet is made of individual rubber bands looped together by hand. This is Dougherty's first world record, and she rightly said that winning the award was a "pretty cool feeling."
