Do you have it in you to set a lacrosse-related world record?

Ryan Hanavan and his son, Logan, recently reached lacrosse immortality. They simultaneously passed two balls 40 times in one minute standing seven meters apart for a new Guinness World Record

That got us thinking. What are some other lacrosse world records recognized by Guinness? There are currently 20 listed online, and here are some of our favorites.
