"The crisis is upon us, friends. Our sport is in trouble. Many of you, that love the game as we do, will look at the crisis like a friend who is in trouble and needs our help. We must not shrink from the task before us, we should welcome it. It is 'our' generation that has been called to the challenge. If not now, when? If not us, who?"

Defending the Home Turf
As of this writing, the World Youth Championships have not begun. Scheduled to begin July 19, 2008 in Orlando, Florida with the singles event, Junior Team USA bowlers are already working to defend the home turf. The eight bowlers selected to represent the USA include hometown favorites Michelle Carcagente and Jenny Brown, Emily Maier and Ricki Williams representing the women and Matt O’Grady, Adam Martinez, John Szczerbinski and Dean Richards representing the men.
To prep for the tournament and get in a little pre-tournament work out, the team and coaches traveled from Orlando to laceType w:st="on">LakelaceType> laceName w:st="on">WaleslaceName> for a visit to the laceName w:st="on">KegellaceName> laceName w:st="on">TraininglaceName> laceType w:st="on">CenterlaceType>. The athletes were able to practice on different patterns as well as do some ball work in the pro shop and practice with CATS and video analysis.
I had the opportunity to watch the team and I must say that they look good. It’s probably a little more exciting for me given that I have seen a couple of these bowlers as they have developed over the past two or three years. So call me biased, but I think it’s looking good for Junior Team USA to not only defend the home turf but represent the home turf on the medal podiums.
Good luck to our athletes and stay tuned to next month’s edition for a recap on the tournament.
Two Top Recruits headed to Webber
One of the most sought-after recruits in the United States, David Knight Jr. 18, (Folcroft, PA) will bowl for laceName w:st="on">WebberlaceName> laceName w:st="on">InternationallaceName> laceType w:st="on">UniversitylaceType> beginning in the Fall. Knight Jr. is the all-time leading Junior Bowlers Tour title holder, earning 48 titles in 6 states. He’s bowled 14, 800 series and has 21 perfect games. His 230 average in JBT competition in 2005-06 is the highest-ever in this tournament series, which has included many successful bowlers such as Patrick Allen, Mike Mullin, Bill O'Neil, Mike Lichstein, Lee Vanderhoef, Jon Van Hees, David O'Sullivan and Alex Cavagnaro - among others. He was the JBT Most Valuable Player seven times in 3 states, and was named the Philadelphia Catholic High School League MVP for four consecutive years.
"We are thrilled that David will join the WIU bowling team," stated Joe Slowinski, head coach. "With his skill and experience, he’ll certainly help us build a strong program in our first year.”
(Slowinski is a world renowned coach, who now works at the laceName w:st="on">KegellaceName> laceName w:st="on">TraininglaceName> laceType w:st="on">CenterlaceType>).
"laceName w:st="on">WebberlaceName> laceName w:st="on">InternationallaceName> laceType w:st="on">UniversitylaceType> is the school I have been looking for, with its smaller class sizes and comfortable surroundings, I’ll be able to get the added attention I need to perform so I can be the best student I am capable of being," David said. "[And], there is also an added bonus with world class coaching right around the corner. I am really ecstatic and looking forward to all the training I will receive as an individual as well as a team. I feel with the great training and coaching opportunity we have at our disposal, we can compete and contend for a national title!" added Knight, Jr., who was one of 16 senior boys invited to compete in the Denny's High School All-American tournament hosted by the PBA.
Diaz -Puerto Rican Star
Javier Diaz of Puerto Rico will also join the WIU bowling team in August. Diaz is a current (3-year) member of the Puerto Rican National Team. In this capacity, he has competed in the American Zone Championships, The Central and Caribbean Championship as well as the Caribbean Championship. In international competition, representing Puerto Rico, he has earned five medals, including two gold. "Javier Diaz was one of the first international players to contact me about the team," said Slowinski. "His experience in high-level international play will be an immediate asset to building a competitive team." Diaz has 5, 300 games and 2, 800 series which is the second highest all-time in Puerto Rico. His first 300 game was rolled as a fourteen-year-old, the youngest-ever in his country. “I am really excited about attending WIU. A small university like Webber is the one that I need and it has the subjects that I want to study," said Diaz, who is an honor graduate of the laceName w:st="on">AmericanlaceName> laceName w:st="on">MilitarylaceName> laceType w:st="on">AcademylaceType> (Guaynabo) and he is a member of the National Honor Society. “It’s going to be an honor bowling for Webber. I am really excited about starting training, meeting my team-mates, and starting the quest for the national title. There is no doubt in my mind that we have a great team with a lot of talent and determination to achieve that goal.”
Kloempken named USBC Technical Director
By: Patrick Brettingen; USBC Communications
The United States Bowling Congress has named versatile and highly respected bowling industry veteran Steve Kloempken to the position of USBC Technical Director of the sport's national governing body.
Recognized as having one of the industry's most innovative minds in bowling ball design and construction, Kloempken will manage the USBC Specifications and Certifications team, which primarily performs advanced testing and research on bowling balls, lanes, pins and lane dressing to ensure that all equipment meets guidelines set by the organization before it is used in USBC competition.
Kloempken officially is slated to start Aug. 1 at the current USBC testing and research facility in Greendale, Wis. Eventually, Kloempken and his staff will operate from the research portion of the laceName w:st="on">USBClaceName> laceName w:st="on">InternationallaceName> laceName w:st="on">TraininglaceName> laceType w:st="on">CenterlaceType> that will be constructed at the new USBC Headquarters facility in Arlington, Texas. Plans call for the training center, scheduled to open by June 2009, to have six lanes for testing and research and 14 lanes for training and coaching.
"I'm extremely excited about the opportunity to join the USBC," said Kloempken, 38, who has served as the marketing director for Storm Products, Inc., in Brigham City, Utah, since 2006. He was the technical director at Storm from 2000-06. "This organization already has many talented people, and I'm honored to be a part of this great team."
Kloempken has a varied and extensive bowling background. The two-time Team USA member (1991, 1994) shined on the international stage in 1991 as a two-time gold medalist in the Federation Internationale des Quilleurs World Championships and U.S. Olympic Festival. He won one gold medal in the Pan Am Games. Kloempken helped laceName w:st="on">WichitalaceName> laceType w:st="on">StatelaceType> laceType w:st="on">UniversitylaceType> to three straight Intercollegiate Bowling Championship titles from 1993-95, earning IBC All-Tournament Team recognition in 1993 and 1994. He also was the 1995 National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association Most Valuable Player, a first-team All-American and the Bowling Writers Association of America Collegiate Bowler of the Year. The right-hander has rolled several USBC certified perfect games and a USBC certified high series of 820.
In addition, Kloempken is a USBC Silver coach, an International Bowling Pro Shop and Instructors Association Level II certified technician and a BWAA member. From 1998-2000, Kloempken served as the Pro Tour Consultant for Storm.
Kloempken has a considerable amount of technical expertise in bowling. His list of accomplishments in that area includes: developing and presenting more than 40 seminars on bowling ball design, reaction and drilling; generating 10 different types of technical ball drilling instructions; attaining certification on the StormPro Digital Coaching System; and authoring articles in more than 15 publications.
"Steve's background makes him a perfect fit for the USBC team," said current USBC Vice President - National Governing Body and former USBC Technical Director Neil Stremmel. "He has a technical background and a business sense that USBC needs to move forward and continue recent success."
With USBC, Kloempken takes the reins of a Specifications and Certifications staff that has recently made a significant impact on the sport. Under Stremmel's leadership, the USBC research team has secured patents for biomechanics systems for motion capture, foot pressure, grip pressure and a landmark, two-year bowling ball motion study conducted jointly with bowling ball manufacturers.
"As the USBC Technical Director, I'm looking forward to building upon the recent successes of the department, such as the bowling ball motion study," Kloempken said. "Our team will continue to conduct technical research on the various products and equipment used in bowling. Our team will develop new and innovative tools and work with new coaching technologies to lead our sport into the future. I also look forward to communicating our findings to the industry."
Kloempken has a B.A. degree in Business Administration from laceName w:st="on">WichitalaceName> laceType w:st="on">StatelaceType> and a M.A. in Business Administration from the laceType w:st="on">UniversitylaceType> of laceName w:st="on">PhoenixlaceName>.
Kansas group headlines list of champions at 2008 USBC Open Championships
By: Matt Cannizzaro; USBC Communications
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Rather than keep all of the glory to himself as he claimed the Regular All-Events crown at the 2008 USBC Open Championships, Jay Futrell of Derby, Kan., shared that winning feeling with his Team Tilt teammates, who topped more than 12,000 teams on the way to this year's Regular Team title.
Futrell, a 28-year-old right hander, was the only bowler to roll three 700 series at the Albuquerque Convention Center this year and had 753 in singles, 717 in team and 713 in doubles for a 2,183 winning total.
Team Tilt took the team title with games of 1,121, 1,124 and 1,129 for a 3,374 effort, and Futrell was joined by Thomas Ault Jr. (705), Joe Keltner (665), Russ Wilson (660) and Chris Greene (627).
With the two wins, Futrell became the 101st bowler in tournament history, and first since 2005, to claim multiple titles in the same year. Jeff Richgels of Oregon, Wis., and Steve Richter of Sheboygan Falls, Wis., won Regular Doubles and Team All-Events in 2005.
"Since we've been so busy out here, it really hasn't sunk in yet, and I don't think it will until I see the trophies," said Futrell, who worked in the Brunswick booth during the Open Championships. "The wait didn't get tough until the last few days, and it seemed like there was always someone bowling well. This is just a great accomplishment, and the fact that five of us got to share it together is even better. This is something we've been trying to do for a while, since we didn't all bowl in college at the same time."
Futrell and his teammates top the list of 22 champions at the 2008 Open Championships, which concluded Sunday after 142 consecutive days of competition. In all, 12,615 teams and more than 63,000 bowlers turned out for the tournament's second trip to the laceName w:st="on">DukelaceName> laceType w:st="on">CitylaceType>. Of the 22 latest champions, 20 were first-time winners on the championship lanes.
John Socha of Oak Creek, Wis., was one of the bowlers who added to his impressive resume as he earned his third Open Championships title. This time, the 36-year-old right-hander teamed up with Dennis Rakauskas of Apopka, Fla., to take home the Regular Doubles crown with a 1,467 total. Socha, the only bowler in tournament history with two 800 series on the tournament lanes, also won Regular Singles in 1997 and was a member of the Regular Team champion in 1998.
"It feels like we've been waiting for about four years," Socha said. "This feels great, but we couldn't have done it without the rest of our team there with us. They deserve this just as much as we do. This is Dennis' first title, and I know he's tickled to death. This is the reason you go to the Open Championships. There are so many bowlers who go for their whole lives and never win, and I've been fortunate to be here three times."
Gregg Zicha of Schaumburg, Ill., a 2001 Regular Doubles champion, led Fox Bowl 2 of Wheaton, Ill., to the Team All-Events title with a 10,025 total, making the group the 15th team in tournament history to crack the 10,000 mark.
Zicha posted a 2,124 all-events total and was followed by Pete Spreadbury, who finished 16th at the 2007 USBC Masters (2,101), Anthony Jordan (2,010), Walter Schaub (1,901) and Open Championships career average leader Michael Nape (1,889).
"I was really emotional when we were bowling because I wasn't bowling well, and I am so grateful to my team for carrying me through it," said Nape, who entered the year as the tournament's average leader with a 216.59 average for 20 years. "I didn't want to be the guy who bowled well for so many years but never won the championship, so to win this is an incredible feeling. I'm just really, really happy right now."
On the way to the win in Regular Singles, Bryan Young of Everett, Wash., posted games of 278, 286 and 268 for an 832 series, one of the year's two 800s. The other belonged to singles runner-up, Jason Price of Grand Island, Neb., who shot 817.
"I checked the leaderboards everyday and was constantly watching anyone who bowled well in team to see how they did in doubles and singles," said Young, who also finished second in Regular All-Events with a 2,165 total. "I never thought this day would come, and it's a day I will cherish."
Throughout the history of the Open Championships, titles have been won on the first day, the last day and every day in between, and on Sunday, Jack Wilson of Centerville, Md., helped close this year's event in dramatic fashion by claiming the Classified Singles title on the final squad of the year.
The 42-year-old right-hander bounced back from disappointing team and doubles efforts and posted games of 265, 170 and 269 to win the event with a 704 total.
"This is just unreal," said Wilson, who made his second Open Championships appearance. "I came here to do this, and it worked out. I've only been bowling for three years, and this winter I had my first 300 game. Now, to do this is more than I ever could've asked for after just three years. I don't think I'll ever have another bowling experience to match this."
Wilson's win came in memory of a friend who died just before last year's trip to the Open Championships. On Sunday, Wilson was wearing his own left shoe and his friend's right shoe so he'd be on the lanes in spirit.
In Classified Doubles action, Jacqueline Snyder and Bill Calhoon of Cooksville, Ill., who have run the Ebonite booth at the Open Championships since the tournament's first trip to Albuquerque in 2000, grabbed the top spot with a 1,282 total.
"This is a 30-year dream come true," Calhoon said. "I looked at the leaderboard (which was right outside the Ebonite booth) every time it flashed. You never think anything like this can happen at a tournament of this size, and it feels terrific."
Classified All-Events went to Daniel Dabkowski of Columbia, S.C., with a 1,857 total, which included 565 in team, 604 in doubles and 688 in singles.
"It definitely was nerve wracking to watch and wait, and it hasn't quite sunk in yet," said Dabkowski, who also made his second tournament appearance. "I'm still amazed that I was able to bowl as well as I did, and it's hard to believe that I had the highest score out of the thousands of bowlers who come to this tournament."
The final champion of 2008 was Cardinal Lanes of Hoisington, Kan., which grabbed the Classified Team title with games of 988, 895 and 921 for a 2,804 team effort. The group's previous best finish was fourth in 2005.
"It's been a long wait and a lot of mornings checking the scores on the Internet," said Cardinal Lanes owner and team captain, Gary Boxberger. "I really didn't think it would hold up after seeing the banners over the lanes and some of the winning scores in recent years. This is such a great relief, and we're very happy."
John Hatz Sr. of Arvada, Colo., also added some excitement to the final squad of the year with a 299 in his second game of singles Sunday. There were 31 perfect games and 11 299s this year.
"I struggled all weekend, so I decided to move and had a nice hold area for singles," said Hatz, who finished with 171, 299 and 180 for a 650 series. "That solid 9 on the last shot was a bad break, but that's the way it goes sometimes. It's still fun, though, and even after all these years, I still get butterflies when I step on the approach here."
Young, Petravich claim U.S. Junior Amateur titles
By: Lucas Wiseman; USBC Communications
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - Kristie Petravich of West Palm Beach, Fla., and Geoffrey Young of Denton, Texas, beat a field of the best youth bowlers in the country Friday to win U.S. Junior Amateur titles at the 2008 United States Bowling Congress Junior Gold Championships.
The championships featured nearly 1,500 bowlers from across the country competing for $100,000 in scholarships, individual titles and spots on Junior Team USA.
Young, 18, who will attend laceName w:st="on">WichitalaceName> laceType w:st="on">StatelaceType> this fall, struck on the first ball of the final frame to lock up the title with 10,345 for 46 games, including 220 bonus pins for match-play victories. He defeated second-place finisher Daniel Spink of Florissant, Mo., 211-208 in the final game of match play.
"This win proves to me that I was able to make the team two years in a row," said Young, who finished tied for third at last year's Junior Gold, missing the title by just four pins. "After spending a year on the team working with the coaches and going to training camp, I just really wanted to experience that again."
On the girls side, Petravich led by more than 200 pins going into the last game and easily won the title with a 46-game total of 9,942, including 260 pins for match-play victories. Local bowler Christine Bator of Warren, Mich., finished second with 9,775, including 150 bonus pins.
"This means a lot because I didn't think I would ever win," said Petravich, 18, who plans to attend the laceType w:st="on">UniversitylaceType> of laceName w:st="on">Central FloridalaceName> this fall. "I never thought I was good enough to win this tournament. This boosts my confidence and I'm definitely happy to win."
The top four finishers in each division earned automatic spots on Junior Team USA 2009 with the National Selection Committee picking two boys and two girls to join the team. Selections were made from the pool of athletes who advance to match play competition.
Joining Young and Spink on the boys squad was third-place finisher Tim Pfeifer of Cranberry Township, Pa., and fourth-place finisher Andrew Koff of Miami. Additional members of the girls team are Ricki Williams of Wichita, Kan., who finished third, and fourth-place finisher Kim Yioulos of Rochester, N.Y.
The National Selection Committee added Brent Bowers of Mulvane, Kan., Jarret Mizo of Honolulu, Brittni Hamilton of Webster, N.Y., and Jessica Earnest of Vandalia, Ill., to Junior Team USA 2009 as at-large members.
Four additional boys and four girls will be added to Junior Team USA at a later date. The top two boys and two girls at the USBC Team USA Trials (dates and location to be determined) who are under age 20 as of Jan. 1, 2009 will earn automatic spots. The National Selection Committee will then select two males and two females from a pool of athletes who made match play at the Junior Gold Championships or who competed in the Team USA Trials.
Athletes in both the boys and girls divisions of the Junior Gold Championships rolled 18 games of qualifying July 7-9 at Sunnybrook Lanes, Sterling Lanes and Century Bowl. The qualifying field was then trimmed to the top 107 boys and 57 girls who competed in 12 games of semifinals on July 10. The top 16 boys and 16 girls then took part in 16 games of round-robin match play Friday at Sunnybrook Lanes.
Junior Team USA looks to heat up at World Youth Championships
By: Kevin Hazaert; USBC Communications
Junior Team USA's Matt O'Grady still has a bitter taste in his mouth.
The South Amboy, N.J., native has had it ever since leaving Berlin, Germany, and the 2006 World Tenpin Bowling Association World Youth Championships without any medals.
With the days dwindling before the 2008 WTBA World Youth Championships begin in Orlando, Fla., O'Grady - the lone holdover from the Berlin squad - is ready to make amends.
"That's going to be the fuel for our fire," said O'Grady, who nearly took the doubles bronze medal with P.J. Haggerty in 2006 - finishing fourth. "Everything I trained for is all about this event. You can't put a price on this tournament ... representing your country is a completely different level."
The 2008 WTBA World Youth Championships, scheduled for July 19-24 at Boardwalk Bowl, will feature nearly 350 elite youth bowlers representing 58 countries - an increase from the 48 that competed in 2006 and 29 that were represented in 2004. The biennial U-22 tournament consists of five disciplines (singles, doubles, team, all-events and Masters).
O'Grady leads the boys team that features first-time Junior Team USA members John Szczerbinski of North Tonawanda, N.Y., Dean Richards of Tacoma, Wash., and Adam Martinez of San Antonio, the 2007 U.S. Junior Amateur boys champion.
Two Florida natives - the 2007 U.S. Junior Amateur girls champion Jenny Brown of DeLand and Michelle Carcagente of Palm Coast - join Emily Maier of Sparks, Nev., and Ricki Williams of Wichita, Kan., as Junior Team USA's girls representatives.
"Getting to bowl at my home center for my country is going to be awesome," said Carcagente, who competed for the laceType w:st="on">UniversitylaceType> of laceName w:st="on">Central FloridalaceName> women's bowling team that practices at Boardwalk Bowl. "Being able to tell my teammates some of the characteristics of the center and how the lanes might play beforehand could help us out a little bit."
In 2006, Junior Team USA came home with only two medals - both bronzes earned by Stefanie Nation - as the team struggled to adapt to the lane conditions and the abnormally sweltering heat in Berlin. The relatively inexperienced, yet talented, squad this time around is aiming for more in 2008.
O'Grady and Maier, who won girls doubles gold and girls team bronze medals at the 2006 American Zone Youth Championships in Mexico, are the only two Junior Team USA players who have experience in international competition.
"Emily is going to be great for the girls' side, and hopefully I can offer some insight to the boys," said O'Grady, who won boys team gold and boys doubles silver medals at the 2006 American Zone Youth Championships. "The competition is going to be tough as players from around the world are really great. They are versatile and some have different styles of play."
This is the first time the United States has hosted the World Youth Championships, which were first held in 1990, and the first major international bowling tournament held in the U.S. since the 1995 WTBA World Championships at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev.

"I have goose bumps right now. This is one of the highest honors I have ever received and by far the most exciting," said Ham. "I can't say I practiced physically more this year than in the past, but I can say I practiced more mentally. My mind was in it the whole time. It feels great to finally say all of the hard work has paid off."
Wisconsin bowlers Gina Daroszewski and Jill Albrecht earned the Classic Doubles crown with their 1,445 total. Daroszewski, of Franklin, fired a 748 series (233, 267, 248), while Albrecht, of laceName w:st="on">WindlaceName> laceType w:st="on">LakelaceType>, shot 697 (192, 259, 246).
