SEATTLE, WASH (Aug. 1, 2011)

Kristina Frahm of Oswego, Ill.,

who helped the University of

Maryland Eastern Shore win a pair

of NCAA Womens Bowling

Championships and a USBC

Intercollegiate Team Championships

title as part of her four-year reign as

a collegiate All-American, has

been selected as winner of the

Professional Bowler Associations

2011 Billy Welu Scholarship.

Frahm, who recently graduated

from Maryland Eastern Shore with

a 3.955 grade point average in

earning her degree in accounting,

is headed to Salisbury University

in Salisbury, Md., this fall in pur-

suit of her MBA. Her goal is to

become a Certified Public Accountant.

Frahm was captain of her

Maryland Eastern Shore teams

during her sophomore, junior and

senior years, helping the school

win NCAA Womens titles in 2008

and 2011, and the 2011 USBC

Intercollegiate Team title. In addi-

tion to earning All-America hon-

ors all four years in school, she

was NCAA Division I Rookie of

the Year in 2008, won the NCAA

Elite 88 Award and the Bernstein

Achievement Award for her aca-

demic accomplishments.

I fell in love with the sport when my

dad first took me bowling at age six,

she said. Once I got to high school, I

realized I could make bowling some-

thing more in my life than just a leisure

activity.

Bowling is a passion of mine

and I would love to continue com-

peting at a higher level. The Welu

Scholarship will help finance my

tuition so I can focus more on bowl-

ing tournaments. If the womens

tour comes back, it would be a

dream of mine to be part of that.

In the five years I have known

Kristina, I have heard only posi-

tive comments about her, said

Maryland Eastern Shore Associate

Athletic Director Sharon

Brummell. That speaks volumes

to the kind of young woman she is

and the kind of future she has in

front of her.

The $1,000 Billy Welu

Scholarship is awarded annually

in honor of the PBA Charter

Member who won the BPAA All

Star in 1959 before winning the

1964 and '65 USBC Masters

events. He was PBA President for

two years, a member of the PBA

Tournament Committee for eight

years and served for 16 years on

the Executive Board. Welu, who

also was a color analyst on early

PBA Tour telecasts, was inducted

into both the PBA and USBC

Halls of Fame in 1975.

2 SPORTS REPORTER August 10 - 16, 2011

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

One of bowling's greatest assets, particularly

in the youth area is that everyone gets to play in

a fully meaningful way. Talk shows devote

hours to the subject of how to come up with

ways to guarantee that every youngster gets to

play. There are all kinds of special rules in most

sports aimed at making the kids a bigger part

of the scene.

Lineups are extended, minutes are assured,

mandates often alter general routines and tal-

ent, will to win and excel and such silly things

as no scoring, no winning and no statistics are

kept.

In sports and in life there are winners and los-

ers and win or lose there always is learning.

Many sports have wisely invested time and

money to develop interest in their sports, not to

create future stars but to create players, coach-

es, officials and fans.

Bowling must keep its accent on the many

junior programs and school activities that

range from pre-school through post-college.

Bowling can be expensive for youngsters and

their families and they should not be viewed as

merely a possible source of current income, but

the life blood of the sport pumping new lif e for-

ever and ever.

Every organization in bowling must fully rec-

ognize the fact of bowling life that bowling's

plus with youth is that everyone gets to play,

not in a forced way, but in a full participant

and competitive status.

Junior bowlers can be classed according to

average. Leagues can have two, three or more

on a team, and there is always room for one

more on some team, and they all get to play and

get to know how they do as team members and

individuals.

Boys learn early that girls can bowl well and

aren't just mere girls but valuable teammates

and opponents. Boys and girls get to know each

other better in various competitive as well as

social situations.

Parents almost dread going to a sporting con-

test when their children are border line players,

good enough to play, but not good enough to

always play. Parents of organized young league

bowlers know their youngsters will be in action,

no matter how well they shoot, and that the

kids will be in a classified situation that is

either competitive or will be by a handicap pro-

cedure that makes for some semblance of equal-

ity based on current ability.

Bowling is fortunate that it is a sport that can

handle differences in age, size or ability in one

of the fairest ways of any sport.

But bowling should be shouting from the

rooftops to youngsters and parents and adults

and educators that this is the rarest of sports,

the sport everyone gets to play for real.

Those kids who can start bowling at two or

three years of age with bumper bowling can

still be bowling decades, and even a century

later, and the same fact is evident---everyone

gets to play.

USBC YOUTH OPEN RECORDS FIRST 800 SERIES,Tim Scott Tops Youth TravelersBy Vince Albrecht

HACKENSACK, NJ The Stan Niemiec Youth Travel bowlers were faced with

challenging lane conditions at Bowler City and while there were some fine scores,

only West Milfords Tim Scott mastered the pattern with progressively better games

of 198-234-247 for a session high 679. His squad rolled well enough to produce a

sweep for Holiday over Fair Lawn II, stretching their league lead to seven; Jeremy

Scott chipped in with 193-565, Joe Malyack 189-519 and Ryan Kattine a closing

185. Fair Lawn IIs Jake Rollins had a pair of 202 games, Justin Floyd 181-193 and

11-year-old Tyler Nappi 158-157.

Despite the efforts of Brian OFlaherty 237-202, Matt Hauser 194, Claire Rieser

178 and 10-year-old Matt Russell 166, second-place Montvale was shocked by Fair

Lawn I, 2697-2587. The latter benefited from the return of Simon Lezaja 224-597

and the combined over average performance of three 11-year-olds: Steven Plaszky

with 217, the fourth highest game of the day, Jon Michael Sepero a +46 with his

161 and Madison Perry a +29 with her 146.

ARLINGTON, Texas A record-

setting performance by Tristan

Musick highlighted the 2011

United States Bowling Congress

Youth Open, which wrapped up

competition at South Point

Bowling Center in Las Vegas.

Musick, of Olathe, Kan., who

was competing in his first USBC

Youth Open, had games 256, 248

and 299 for an 803 series during

singles competition on July 8. It

was the first 800 series rolled in

the history of the USBC Youth

Open, which started in 2007.

I had never bowled an 800

series, Musick said, and then I

go and shoot one in a national

tournament. It felt unbelievable!

Musick, a 13-year-old left-han-

der who rolled his first certified

300 game on May 1, had a chance

for a perfect game in his final

game of the series but left a light

10 pin.

My heart was racing knowing

the fact that I needed to get 7 pins

to shoot an 800 series, Musick,

left, said about the last ball. But

overall I felt pretty confident in

myself.

Musick, who bowls at Mission

Bowl N Olathe, started bowling

with his mom in a youth/adult

league when he was eight. In

addition to the USBC Youth

Open, he competed at the USBC

Junior Gold Championships while

in Las Vegas, and said it was

both challenging and exciting.

More than 2,000 USBC Youth

members participated in the tour-nament that started July 8 and

Musick wasnt the only one to roll

the first honor score at the Youth

Open.

Dan Reinke of New Ulm,

Minn., had his first certified 300

game during team competition on

July 14. It was the first perfect

game in Youth Open history.

Two days later, Junior Team

USA member Jacob Kent of

Newark, N.Y., rolled a perfect

game during team competition.

The USBC Youth Open is a

non-qualifying tournament that is

open to all USBC Youth mem-

bers. Bowlers are placed in one offour divisions based on average,

so they are matched according to

skill, not age or gender. All scores

are scratch. Bowlers roll nine

games total three games each of

singles, doubles and four-player

team. The combined scores from

those events are the All-Events

score.
