[edit]

Founded in April 2010,[2] the league was bouting by December, when it played the Soy City Rollers in that league's debut game.[3][4] In April 2011, it hosted its first home bout.[5]

The league was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in July 2011,[6] and it graduated to full membership in December 2012.[7] As of December 2017, McLean County is no longer listed as a current member on the WFTDA website, and last received a ranking in the May 31, 2015 release, at 217th overall.[8]
