Something I'm very proud of...
« on: May 04, 2008, 09:21:38 AM »
Her name is Kaitlyn Commane, aged 14.

I have helped Kait over the last couple of years, and while her game is still a work in progress, she has steadily improved to the point where she has started to average 200 in a quite a few tournaments.

She won the State Junior Masters earlier this year, at the toughest centre in the state averaging 205 (only person, male or female over the card) and has been in the State team for the last 3.

Not only that, she drills her own gear, and helps me out in the shop. How many 14 year olds, particularly girls, are even interested in that?

Enjoy

Wow, that's amazing.  200+ in tournaments at age 14?  And drills her own equipment?  That's the best thing I've ever heard.  I really wish I was able to at least layout my own equipment to get the reaction I'm looking for.  Congrats on your accomplishment.

Nice video, she's pretty impressive...as an aside Stephen Lynch has another song with a VERY similar tune called "Mixer at Delta Chi" and given the situation is tremendously inappropriate, my jaw was on the floor until I realized which song it was.

Another female prodigy might be the next Wendy Mac or Carolyn, just saw Kim Terrell about 4 hours along with Barnes at the camp Bakes as they were leaving.
