Kate Moore, a lively 16-year-old high school sophomore from Des Moines, Iowa has been crowned the National Texting Champion.
Soon after, she entered the LG U.S. National Texting Championship held in New York and won, netting a cool $50,000 and a seat in the burgeoning sport's worldwide championship, held last month.

It took me 56 seconds to type it, how about you give it a try?
