I gave you the definition of pioneer in post 317. She didn't meet any of the criteria.
That list may be a reflection of your entire train of thought on this subject, narrow, unimagnative, and designed primarily to prove your point, rather than find the truth.
Pioneer: 2 a : a person or group that originates or helps open up a new line of thought or activity or a new method or technical development

She has clearly opened up a new activity for 16 year olds, thus my tag as a pioneer.
