Youngest Female to Solo Mississippi.  Huh.  ME!?

I'm doing some research, and it looks like Janet Moreland was the first woman to solo the entire Missouri/Mississippi river complex (3,800 miles!) at age 57, from April 24-Dec 3, 2013.  Then, it looks like Ellen McDonah, at age 60, was the first woman to solo just the Mississippi River (2,552 miles) starting in May of 2014.  As far as I can tell, that makes me the youngest woman to solo the Mississippi River.  Sort of incredible that no woman had done it before, and here we are setting all sorts of records in just a couple years!
