Lage joined the Junior Competition Climbing Association (JCCA) and won at the Youth Nationals becoming National Champion in the 12- to 13-year-old girl's division.[citation needed] That same year Lage attended the Youth Worlds and World Cup in Imst, Austria, but was unable to compete because she was too young. Her father's US Air Force career moved her family to Pope Air Force Base, NC.[1] After another undefeated JCCA season, Lage took second place at the Youth Nationals for the 14- to 15-year-old girl's division.[citation needed]

In 1999, Lage had 11 wins in the JCCA season, including the National Championship. She ranked 26th place at the World Youth Championship in Courmayeur, Italy, after her foot slipped on the second preliminary climb. In 2000 after an undefeated JCCA season, Lage becoming National Champion for the third time. She placed 13th at the Youth Worlds in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In 2001, Lage completed another undefeated JCCA season, winning both the National Championship and the Continental Championship.[5] Lage also claimed a third-place finish at the European Youth Cup in Trieste, Italy.[6] She competed in Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Slovenia on the Difficulty World Cup tour.[7]

The 2002 season was Lage's final one. As an undefeated National Champion, she took 5th for difficulty and 14th for speed at the Youth World Championship in Canteleu, France. She completed a third Difficulty World Cup season, traveling to Russia, Singapore, Italy,[8] and Austria.[9] Lage's overall world ranking for 2002 was 28th.[10] After the season finished, Lage decided to return to the United States to pursue her degree from Philadelphia Biblical University now Cairn University[11] in Bible and Discipleship Counseling.
