    Well, she was in the Master's division, which is 40 and up.  Maybe she just hit the wrong year when creating her account.  I don't think you can change it.

    I actually was one of the judges for this event @PPC, & she blew my mind — to me she was the top in her category, bummed that she didn’t come in 1st (VERY close 2nd tho)… Greta if ur out there reading this, everyone down @ my studio (FPF in San Diego) is totally inspired by you & wants to see more of u — be expecting a more formal invite from us to perform at one of our semi-annual shows in the near future… But til then, please come & visit us anytime. You are sensational… Loved ur passion too, it really comes thru all ur movement, on & off the pole.

    Greta is definitely amazing!  She has so much strength!  I'm fortunte to be able to practice along side her.  She is a member at Pole Kraze in Murrieta, CA.  Taught by Kiki Leigh.  Side note: Greta was on TV for the American Ninja Warrior tryouts that played on G4TV this past Sunday.
