Career

Patti Lank began curling at the age of eleven and competed at her first US National Championships in 1994 and her team placed fourth. She has since gone on to compete in fifteen National Championships. In March 2010 she will compete in her sixteenth US Nationals. Patti Lank has won the United States title five times (1997, 1999, 2002, 2004, and 2011) and competed in the World Championships held in those years.[1]
