The Trapp family from Duluth, Minnesota has achieved the Guinness World Records title for tallest family. The family is an average of 203.29 cm (6 ft 8.03 in) tall, with the tallest being the son Adam Trapp measuring a whopping 221.71 centimeters and the shortest being the mother Kristine Trapp at 191.2 centimeters.
“I love saying I’m the shortest person in the world’s tallest family!” joked Kristine.
Daughter Savanna Trapp-Blanchfield, 27, measures 203.6 centimeters while their sister Molly Steede, 24, stands at 197.26 centimeters.
All the Trapp children have been into sports. They were selected by their colleges for either basketball or volleyball.
Savanna was recruited by UCLA to play Division one basketball, Molly played volleyball in college, and Adam was a star basketball player in high school.
“When I was in the first grade, I was taller than my teacher,” said the father Scott Trapp in the same statement.
Each family member experiences unique situations due to their height. The popular response amongst them is that they frequently hit their heads on doorways, ceiling fans, and overhead lighting.
The family also faces another difficulty – finding clothing, especially pants and shoes. In contrast, they also joke that they are easy to find in a group of people -“just look up.”
Savanna adds that family hopes that their new Guinness World Records title “empowers others who are unique or feel different. There is joy and freedom in embracing who you are. Rock what you got. There is nobody else like you and that is fantastic.”
