Last summer at the LG event 16-year-old
Kathy Spence of Scarborough, Ontario was the surprise winner beating out last year's winner Mark "Jervy" Breiva, 18, from Mississauga, Ontario.
Spence was able to speed through a sentence in a mere four seconds.
Before she was named a champ Spence was sending out 200 text messages a day to her friends and family. Her parents didn't really like that she was more interested in texting though, thinking homework was a tad more important.
That may have changed now that mom, also named Kathy Spence is a texting whiz reports

"I'm into texting now too," said Spence's mom, who is also named Kathy Spence.
"When I text her and she doesn't respond. I say 'you are slow, I'm faster than you'," the older Spence said laughing.
Runner-up Amy Konecnik, 17, from Saskatoon will be joining Spence for the World Championship on Thursday.
