You are correct here on most parts, and will get little argument from me,,
but here in the SE region, there are some past Jr riders now riding as
adults. Aven Jeffers, now 17, Amanda Brumleve, now 17_I think_ she was the
SE jr. champion last year, and now is kicking adult butt!! I know of some
in other regions, but don't know names--sorry.. I have one who will be
able to ride solo next year...she is not my kid.. I have started a few JR
riders that are soon to be old enough to ride solo. It's nice. There is
also the Anderson girl in Fl. Truman may know her name. I can't remember.
