DG SumOly 2021 July & August Athletics Contest -- Flyball

[Thor]

Challenging other petz in competitions is part of Duke's Group culture. There's a ton of different ways to show off how your pet is doing. Typical pose shows and the like are just one type of show offering-- but it seems to test your patience with getting the perfect photo and not your petz' actual limits.

Inspired by ✬MsWildiful✬--
For these challenges, we're going to try to find the top dog or cat.

Since this is a July challenge, it'll be open the entire month of July.


Challenge Flyball
More rules and info here
A complete flyball jump is two parts:

1. Jump right - no toy


2. Jump left - with ball



Time how many seconds it takes for your pet to do TWO flyball jumps.
1. Jump right - no toy
2. Jump left - with toy
3. Jump right - no toy
4. Jump left - with toy


Rules
-Get out a stopwatch and start the challenge
-Reply below with images (or a gif) of your pet performing the flyball trial challenge
-Feel free to post even if you don't beat a record-- I'll keep track of the current top 5 of each record in the scoreboard post below
-You can post again beating your previous record!
-Any pet is welcome and you can post the same pet with a better record as you improve-- or post a different petz record! Up to you :)
-Remember, this is for fun, so be truthful!

Here's both the first entry and an example for those of you who are new to flyball trials. I hope this helps explain what flyball is!

Can we only do this with a single pet? Or once with every pet on our team?

Soccer is more his thing, but he seemed to do pretty good with a time of 51 seconds!
