Consider the title defended. Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, picked up
where his wife, Lynda, left
off last year as he claimed
the title at Bowling's Clash
of Champions, a
United States Bowling
Congress event.
Barnes, who earned his way
into the Clash by being the
2007-08
Professional Bowlers
Association Player of
the Year, defeated
collegiate bowler Rebekah
Diers of Kingston, N.Y., in
the man versus woman title
match 257-207 on April 30 at
the
Reno Events Center.
A crowd of nearly 1,500 fans
watched the special
made-for-television event
that showcased 16 champions
of various events competing
for a total prize pool of
$100,000.
Watch
the post-game interview,
courtesy of bowlTV, and read
more about Barnes' road to
the title.
Congratulations to Todd Muschall of Council Bluffs, Iowa, who correctly
filled out his Clash Bracket
on bowl.com to take home the
$5,000 first-place prize and
title of Clash Bracket
Challenge Champion. Thank
you to everyone
who entered!
Johnson captures Queens title
Liz Johnson of
Cheektowaga, N.Y., captured
the 2009
United States Bowling
Congress Queens title
on April 29.
Johnson defeated 2007 Queens
champion
Kelly Kulick of
Union, N.J., 247-204, to
earn the title before a
crowd of nearly 1,500 at the
Reno Events Center. The
victory earned her $30,000
and a place among bowling's
biggest names as Queens
champion.

Record scores piling up at 2009
USBC Open Championships
Ron Vokes of Racine, Wis.,
went into the 2009
USBC Open Championships
just hoping to get close to
the score that fellow
Wisconsin bowler Lennie
Boresch posted earlier in
the tournament. Vokes didn't
just get close, he passed
his friend by nearly 100
pins to take the Regular
All-Events lead and set a
new tournament record of
2,321 pins. Vokes turned in
series of 857, 767 and 697
to claim the top spot. His
30 consecutive strikes in
singles competition
is also a tournament record.
Video highlights of Vokes' record-breaking tournament can be found on

Construction projects moving forward at International
Bowling Campus
While business as usual happens daily in the offices of the
United States Bowling
Congress, Bowling
Proprietors' Association of
America and other
organizations, at opposite
ends of the International
Bowling Campus in
Arlington, Texas,
construction crews are hard
at work.
On the ground floor of the
north side of 621 Six Flags
Drive, work on the new
International Bowling Museum
and Hall of Fame is
underway. Already complete
are two replica manual
pinsetter lanes that will
also serve as the theatre.
On the south part of the
campus, plenty of dirt has
been moved for the
International Training and
Research Center. The site
has been cleared and graded
with water injection,
drilling and pouring of
piers for the structural
slab under the lanes coming
next. After that will come
the footings for the
foundation. Simultaneous to
that work will be concrete
work on the dock and the
front entrance as well as
some landscaping.
