General
- 14 year old prodigy athlete
- Father: Klaus Lowrie
- The eighth youngest player ever admitted into PCAG competition
- Recognized as being one of the best young players on the scene since Serena Duncan's debut eight years ago
- Defeated Bryce Goran, eliminating him from competition (surprisingly early in the season)
Scandal
- As a child, suffered from cognitive and developmental disorders, and was treated with a range of experimental enhancement medications
- These enhancements are considered to be very unsporting, by some in the community.
- A specially convened committee of PCAG officials judged in favour of allowing her to compete
- The controversy is about her participation and the fundamental definition of cognitive enhancement by drugs
- A campaign against her entrance into the PCAG is being led by Jonas Sawgrass of the Alliance for Clean Players
- On 17-JUN-05, during her debut match (against Mikhail Terpening), protesters bought out a block of tickets and jeered the 14-year-old athlete.
- She left the stage crying.
- She still managed to win against Terpening.
- Following her 13-JUL-05 win against Bryce Goran, opponents to Champaign insisted it to be clear evidence of "enhanced" players defeating "clean" players.
