Enter 11 year old Maxine McCormick. Recently at the U.S. National Casting Championships in Long Beach, California she finished fourth in fly casting accuracy, made the All-America Team, & broke the all time highest women's score ever! She also broke seven records in the junior categories, too. Folks, she did all this & she's only 11 years old!!!
My friend James, who is a member of the Golden Gate Casting Club & has been watching Maxine develop as a rod caster, told me about her a while ago. I think he's absolutely right in that she shows a bright future in this sport.
You can read an article about her recent accomplishments HERE.
Remember her name, as I'm sure we'll be hearing about her again. No doubt the sport is in good hands with young people like her. Way to go Maxine!!!
