Hello! I am writing an article about the WPRA and wanted to include the year that the WPRA implemented the age limit. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

In 1997 it changed from 14 to 18. I know there was a long period of time there was no age limit, but I'm not sure when the 14 year age limit was implemented.

On the WPRA website in the history, a girl was mentioned that was 10 and it looked like she was going to win the world but was killed somehow. Don't remember the date. Seems like it was in the 80's.

That happened in the 60s.
Ann Lewis is the name of the little girl who died before the NFR that year. She had won enough prior to the accident that she still won the world.
Wasn't Fallon only 13 when she went to her first NFR back in 95?
