When it comes to pit-spitting, it's tough to beat the Krause family, who on Saturday maintained their dominance in the 41st International Cherry Pit-Spitting Championship in southeastern Michigan.

Brian Krause took top honours with a distance of 80 feet, 8 inches (24.59 metres), said Monica Teichman, who runs the market at Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire, just north of the Indiana state line.

Chloe Bartz, 13, from Niles, Mich., reacts after winning the women's division during the 41st International Cherry Pit-Spitting Championship on Saturday, July 5, 2014, at Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire, Mich.

The Krause family are hard to beat in cherry pit-spitting.

Grape tossing is another matter. I'm talking about the art of catching a grape tossed high in the air in your mouth. I throw down the gauntlet to the Krause family on this one.
