“She wanted to qualify for the main section and she did, coming ninth equal overall. Six girls are selected from each region and there are 15 regions in total. She did amazing. The next goal was to make a final and she made two of them. The third was to win a medal and she ended up winning several.”
Stevens said she enjoyed the championship.
“I’m happy I achieved my goals.”
She said she’s played darts for as long as she can remember.
“It’s something fun and different.”
