First Bowling Meet - Atchison, Lansing, and SMS

Expectations were high for the first meet and although they kids did well, I think they ended up rather disappointed. The Varsity boys and girls both came in second place. The JV boys and JV girls came in first place.

The lane conditions were very odd - it seemed to those of us observing that those with good form and skill did not get the results they typically get. The best results came from those that stood and "chucked" the ball down the center with spin. The general concensus was "Wait until they get to our house - we will crushed them at College Lanes." Shelby was nervous about fouling as the approaches were quite slick, but she did not foul once. She was consistent and hit her mark perfectly (just didn't get the usual pin action - her strike ball left strange pin configurations).

It was a good warmup for the meet this Thursday versus despised rival SM East.
