Jul 30-31, 2016---------2016 U.S. High School Bowling National Championship,

"I wanted to stay in touch and first let you, and the NFHS, know how well last year's U.S. High School Bowling National Championship went.  Here are just some of the results from the 2016 U.S. High School Bowling National Championship that took place in Tamarac, Florida on July 30-31, 2016.

There were several interesting stories from last year's tournament.  For starters, both boys and girls Singles Champions came from Kentucky.  The boys Singles champion, McKinley Knopp, was an 18 year-old graduated senior on his way to college, while the girls Singles champion, Emma Owens, was 14 years of age and was an incoming sophomore.  Both Team Champions, Apopka HS boys and Circle Christian girls, came from Florida and were each the reigning Florida (FHSAA) State boys and girls team champions.  Here are links to the 2016 Champions with their National Championship rings:
2016 Boys & Girls TEAM Champions - http://www.ushsbf.org/2016boys&girlsteamchampionrings.pdf
2016 Boys & Girls SINGLES Champions - http://www.ushsbf.org/2016boys&girlssingleschampionrings.pdf

But what might be the most interesting story from within the '16 National Championship came from the Boys National Runner-Up Team -- Rio Rancho HS -- the reigning New Mexico state champions.  The Rio Rancho HS boys team were actually a "unified" team that had two girls on their boys team... and both girls played throughout the '16 National Championship.  When do you see a National Championship final game or final match in any sport that has women competing equally, side by side, with their male teammates in a boys or men's division?

There were 39 new State records set from the bowlers who participated in this inaugural high school bowling national championship.  There is a red hash tag after 2016# in the Florida, Texas, New Mexico and Wisconsin state record pages indicating that the particular record was performed at 'Nationals’.  There were three 300 games, four 299s, one 296, and one 800 series (first-ever 800 in Wisconsin HS bowling).  All 300 games and 800 series have been added to the National 300/800 Honor Roll  http://ushsbf.org/300800honorroll.html

Feedback from the bowlers, their coaches and parents, both during and after the '16 National Championships has been overwhelmingly positive.  Everyone immediately were talking about their excitement to compete in next year’s national championship in Nashville, Tennessee.

2017 U.S. High School Bowling National Championship  www.2017nationalchampionship.com

The 2017 U.S. High School Bowling National Championship will take place just outside of Nashville in Smyrna, Tennessee on June 24-25, 2017 at Smyrna Bowling Center.  The field has been expanded to fit 520 bowlers (260 boys / 260 girls max) and a maximum of 52 boys and 52 girls and teams.  We anticipate bowlers from approximately 15 different States will be represented in the ’17 National Championship.
Welcome letter from the Mayor of Smyrna, TN - http://ushsbf.org/welcome_letter_smyrna_mayor_reed_2017.pdf

I would like to extend an invitation to the NFHS to sanction the 2017 U.S. High School Bowling National Championship.  If that is not possible at this time, I would like to invite the NFHS to consider national championship sanctioning in 2018... and beyond.

Please feel free to contact me anytime regarding the '17 National Championship and/or for any other reason.

WORLD RECORD

BOWLING INDUSTRY SETS NEW WORLD RECORD WITH MORE THAN
923,000 GAMES ROLLED IN A SINGLE DAY

Industry Also Reports Record Year-Upon-Year Growth with Participation Having Climbed by 2.7% to over 71 Million Between April '09 and March '10

ARLINGTON, Texas, August 31, 2010 - Long one of America's most beloved national pastimes, bowling continues to see record levels of participation in what has been a period of tremendous resurgence in popularity for the industry. The Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA), the industry's premier trade organization representing 4,000 bowling centers, released new growth statistics that point to the vitality of bowling, which continues to maintain its status as the nation's number one participatory sport.

The BPAA reported today that on World Record Day (August 7) - the culmination of National Bowling Week (July 31 to August 7), the industry set a new world record of most games played in a single day for the third consecutive year. Within a 24-hour period, 923,948 games were played across the 1,252 centers that reported as of the cut-off date, setting a new benchmark of success for the industry.

Coupled with the World Record Day news, the BPAA also announced record participation levels during the full year of April 2009 to March 2010. Driven by heightened participation from women and younger bowlers, the industry saw a 2.7% increase in consumer participation with more than 71 million having bowled during the twelve month time frame.

"From coast-to-coast, we are seeing a tremendous period of growth and vitality for the bowling industry, as evidenced by the records that are being shattered year after year," said Steve Johnson, executive director of BPAA. "From women and young adults who are just becoming bowling enthusiasts to boomers, who are falling back in love with the game, many are discovering and rediscovering that bowling isn't just the greatest sport, it's a lot of fun too."

Below is a history of World Record Day participation over the past three years:

2010 - 923,948 games across 1,252 centers

2009 - 741,821 games across 1,044 centers

2008 - 548,721 games across 808 centers

The new bowling world record is recognized by the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA), United States Bowling Congress (USBC), Strike Ten Entertainment, the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) and the International Bowling Pro Shop and Instructors Association (IBPSIA).

New World Record

A New World Record is Made
Stephen Shanabrook, 24, of Plano, Texas broke the Guinness World Record of the Longest Marathon Ten-Pin Bowling on Saturday, July 17th. The previous longest tenpin bowling marathon world record was held by Stuart Ridley, 32, of New Zealand who bowled for 5 days and 2 hours straight at Strike Entertainment Centre in September 2009. Stephen bowled for 5 days, 4 hours and 45 minutes at Plano Super Bowl.
Below is an interview he gave shortly after finishing his amazing feat.
What was the most difficult part?
Probably transitioning from a period where I had a full sleep schedule to one where it was very limited. I was only allowed one or two hours per day, so it was a really difficult adaptation for my body to get used to. It was really hard on me the first three days; but I adapted into it the last couple. That’s what helped me make it through the last three days.
Was the challenge more physical or mental?
I would say the whole process was about 70% mental and 30% physical for me. I felt like I was in good shape physically, but every person who does something like this finds themselves at that physical wall and you have to have the mental ability to go through that wall and keep going. I bumped into that wall many times this week, and it was the help from family and friends and encouragement that kept me going.

Showing off his custom bowling ball dontated by OTB. Congratulations from all us to you Stephen.
Were the toughest times the early morning hours?
Yes. Probably between 1:00am and 3:00 am, because it was dead quiet in the center, and there weren’t very many people around; maybe a handful. My support group helped through those times. Thank goodness we had a lot of night owls. When they saw me struggling, they would bring me some food, or snack, or some kind of power drink, or they would talk to me and keep me going.
Were there any moments of panic when you thought it wouldn’t last much longer?
I think toward the end of day one and the start of day two. At the end of day one I was exhausted after being up for more than 24 hours, because I had planned my sleep schedule to only one hour per day to maximize the breaks I got, so I could accumulate minutes of break time. At the start of day two, I felt sort of sick. I don’t know what it was from, but I had to fight my way through it. Once I got some food into my system, it calmed down and I was able to re-focus my energy.
It is amazing that you are this coherent right now.
Actually, I am not nearly as foggy now as I was on Wednesday. Then, if you had said something to me, I might have wondered what language you were speaking, but my body adjusted, and I have been able to function pretty well the past couple of days.
At what point did you first think “I’m going to make it?”
That would have to be about mid-day Thursday when I had, maybe not a second wind, but a new burst of energy. I could see the finish line and thought this really was possible, so I kept going and kept pushing and said to myself “This is going to happen.”
Does doing this give you a lot of confidence to accomplish other goals in your life?
Without a doubt. Something this challenging is huge; to come out on top. This proves that if you set your sights high, you can go in that direction.

PBA Regional Player Sets 2 New Records

Gollick started the four-game session by leaving a 4-10 split and going 9-out. He didn't shoot another spare the rest of the night, finishing game 1 with 279 and then rolling three consecutive 300s for a four-game total of 1179 - also a record.
Congratulations Tom you striking machine.
