Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Kay Baxter those sources are MuscleMemory and Wikipedia. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. MuscleMemory is the exception: the archive we recorded those older shows from no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name and not offered as a link.

In 8 meetings, Carla Dunlap finished ahead of Kay Baxter 6 times to 2.

Opponents are ranked by how often they shared a stage and how big the stage was, not by reputation. A meeting is one contest where both competed in the same division and both were placed.
