Bowling ended for Michael on Wednesday, and nearly all the families from Rocket went out to dinner to celebrate. Michael and Jeremy finished about where we'd expect them to: in the bottom 10% of the 990 bowlers, but we're very proud of Michael.
For someone with a 130-some average last year and a 179 book this year, his progress has been amazing. For a bowler with mostly social aims, he took on the highest challenge available to youth bowlers and represented everything from his center to his state in the Jr. Gold Championships. He was brave enough to even blog his progress for the USBC site bowl.com.
He knows he wants to do better next year--he is adamant about bowling the tournament next year. So we'll start planning for Buffalo.
