It is with great
sadness, that I am letting our Morris County bowling family know of
the passing of a Morris County Bowler, and good friend, Warren
Wormann. Warren lost his long battle with lung cancer, but not
before celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary to Gerry, the love
of his life.
I remember meeting
Warren some 10 years ago, at BelPike Lanes. Not sure which
tournament, but we hit it off like we had known each other our whole
lives. Since then, we have chatted from time to time, until his
moving the Delaware, after which we only spoke via messenger. Warren
enjoyed family, bowling, baseball, and singing, especially at the
Dogfish Head Brewery.
I on behalf of the Morris County NJ
USBC, want to wish our sincerest condolences to the Wormann family.
Warren will be missed immensely.
Friends are welcome
to attend Warrens viewing Sunday October 27th from 1-6pm at
William J. Leber Funeral Home, Chester. And a final funeral Mass
to be held Monday October 28th, 10:30am at
St Jude's in Budd Lake, NJ
Team USA finishes
strong at 2024 PANAM Bowling Championships
RENO, Nev. via
BOWL.COM by Aaron Smith, 8/25/24 – The 20 athletes
representing Team USA at the 2024 PANAM Bowling Adult, Senior and
Super Senior Championships have concluded their time on the lanes at
the National Bowling Stadium, collecting a total of 26 medals across
five days of competition.
The group added 11 medals to the count Saturday as the team event
concluded and medalists were determined in all-events across the 24
games of the week. Seven of the medals were gold, bringing Team
USA’s total to 15 in Reno. The program also collected seven silvers
and four bronzes.
The tournament got underway Monday and featured Adult (Elite),
Senior (age 50 and over) and Super Senior (age 60 and over)
classifications for both men and women. Competition included
singles, doubles, mixed doubles (Super Senior only), trios (Elite
and Senior only) and team disciplines.
On Saturday, Team USA recorded three wins in team (Elite Men, Senior
Men, Senior Women) and four in all-events.
The Elite men’s squad averaged more than 235 as a unit in team,
setting a new team record at the PANAM Bowling Championships to earn
the gold medal with a 7,052 total. The winning crew featured Packy
Hanrahan, AJ Johnson, Jake Peters, Spencer Robarge, Julian Salinas
and Darren Tang.
Johnson and Tang, along with Senior Team USA member John Janawicz,
previously posted the team record at the 2019 event in Lima, Peru,
with 6,929.
Canada took home the silver medal in Reno with 6,967, and Mexico
collected the bronze medal with 6,777.
Team USA trailed Canada by 53 pins heading into the final three
games, but the group posted 1,173 in its first game Saturday to take
over the top spot. They followed with 1,226 to build the lead to
nearly 170 pins heading into the final game.
The pace for the United States slowed down in the last game, though,
as the Canadian team started to put together strikes and challenge
for the win. Ultimately, Team USA was able to stay ahead of the
charge to finish with 1,095. Canada posted 1,179 in the final game.
Over six games Friday and Saturday, Robarge led the way with a 1,478
total. Hanrahan had 1,448, Tang posted 1,444 and Peters rolled
1,375. Salinas put up 655 toward the team total Friday, and Johnson
added 652 on Saturday.
Hanrahan and Robarge entered Saturday’s block separated by just 21
pins for the top spot in all-events in the men’s Elite category, and
Hanrahan held an eight-pin advantage over his teammate going into
the final game.
The pair previously captured the gold medal in doubles Wednesday and
added Salinas to the mix for silver in trios Thursday. Hanrahan
started the week with gold in singles.
Robarge closed his final game first with 236, while Hanrahan,
bowling in the anchor position, was working on a spare and needed a
strike on his first delivery for the chance to take the gold on his
own.
The two-handed southpaw left a 7 pin, however, meaning a spare and
strike on his fill ball would put him at 228 and result in a tie
after 24 games at 5,738. Hanrahan covered the spare and rolled the
necessary strike to match Robarge to share another gold for Team
USA.
The winning tally also set a record at the PANAM Championships.
Johnson posted 5,690 to win all-events in 2019.
“Our coach came down after I spared and said, ‘By the way, if you
strike here, you can tie for all-events,’” Hanrahan said. “I thought
that’d be really cool, having two of our guys on the podium next to
each other. It was a really special moment, especially getting to
share it with Spencer.”
“To win all-events with Packy is insane,” Robarge said. “We were so
close and just going back and forth. I thought he was going to get
the strike to shut me out, and when the messenger didn’t hit, I
looked at him and told him to make the spare and please strike. I
didn’t want it by myself. I wanted both of us to have it, and he
went up and did exactly what he needed to do.”
Mexico’s Ricardo Lecuona took home the bronze medal in all-events
with 5,627, while Peters finished fourth with 5,606.
Hanrahan made his Team USA debut this week in Reno and medaled in
each event. He took in a lot during the experience and appreciated
the way his teammates continued to fight throughout the event,
especially during the final game of team.
“It’s my first time with the team and being able to hang out with
these guys and compete with them instead of against them, so I’ve
been learning about them and this team and finding out what this
program is all about,” Hanrahan said. “I had moments this week I’ll
never forget. To do it with these guys supporting you every step of
the way is the best part.
“Everyone was able to lock back in, especially when that last pair
got hard. We hoped to put some pressure on Canada, but coming down
the stretch, all those guys were striking and applied the pressure
right back to us. We were a little behind to start the day, then way
ahead, and with two frames to go, it felt like we were dead even.
Everyone supported each other with every shot, and we just kept
reminding each other of the key things we had been focusing on all
week to make sure we were throwing our best shots to get the job
done.”
Robarge was making his debut on the adult team this week after four
years on Junior Team USA and credited his teammates in helping him
perform his best.
“This has probably been one of the best weeks of bowling in my
life,” Robarge said. “When we got here, we all knew each other a
little bit – I know Packy and Julian pretty well, but I didn’t
really know AJ, Darren and Jake all that well. They welcomed me in
with open arms and made me really feel like a valued member of this
team and that freed my swing up so much. To win the gold with them,
I can’t put it into words. It’s what you dream of when you put USA
on your back.”
Johnson is the veteran of the men’s Elite squad this week as a
10-time member of Team USA. He was impressed with how the group
worked together to get the job done to close the team event.
“Packy and Spencer were bowling really well this week – it showed in
their scores and how they bowled together and what they were able to
do,” Johnson said. “For Darren, Jake and I today, and Julian
yesterday, we had to manage the pocket and throw a couple three
baggers and get as much score as we could because we knew those guys
were going to keep striking.
“That last pair was so tricky on the right side, because I feel
there was nothing but urethane thrown on that pair. We had to try
and manage it. There were a couple errors in the middle of that
game, but it was important that we didn’t lose control during the
last game. It felt like because the scores were so high this week
that it was easy to spin out of control if you weren’t seeing the
pair all that well or if your ball wasn’t striking when you were
hitting the pocket consistently. We all worked really well together.
Some of us have worked together a few times, and some of us hadn’t
worked together at all. For us to come together for a week and put
everything together the way we needed to down the stretch and have
trust in each other was a huge thing.”
The women’s team for the Senior division completed their sweep for
the week in Reno, claiming gold in all five events.
The group featured Dana Ausec, Kathy Ledford and United States
Bowling Congress Hall of Famers Liz Johnson and Jodi Woessner. They
cruised to the team gold by more than 300 pins with a 5,020 total.
Mexico collected silver with 4,701, and Puerto Rico took home bronze
with 4,522.
Johnson (5,086), Woessner (4,963) and Ausec (4,831) also finished in
the top three spots in all-events, while Ledford was fifth (4,648).
Team USA set the pace early in the team event, rolling scores of
885, 874 and 820 on Friday to put some distance between themselves
and the rest of the field. They built on their advantage Saturday to
complete the task.
Johnson led the way with 1,281 in team and was followed by Ausec
(1,273), Woessner (1,270) and Ledford (1,196).
“We had a really great game plan, and (Team USA assistant coach)
Andy (Diercks) had a great game plan individually for all of us,”
Ledford said. “We spoke on every shot and were very quick to make
our moves.”
Woessner started the week with the win in singles, while Johnson
earned the silver medal. Team USA claimed the top two spots in
doubles (Ausec and Johnson – gold, Ledford and Woessner – silver),
and the team of Ausec, Johnson of Woessner collected the gold in
trios.
Ledford made her debut with Team USA this week at the National
Bowling Stadium, and she was grateful for the chance to represent
her country alongside her teammates as she closed the week beside
them at the top of the podium.
“I had a pretty awesome group of girls to rely on, and having Liz
Johnson as your anchor is probably the best feeling in the world,”
Ledford said. “This whole week was a really wonderful experience. I
learned a ton, and I’m so glad I got the opportunity to represent.
“It was absolutely phenomenal and a dream come true of mine. I
always wanted to be part of an Olympic-like event. To be gifted to
not only bowl with my teammates, but also work with these great
coaches, was a great opportunity.”
The men’s team in the Senior
category also closed the week with gold in team, as Janawicz
recorded the top score in all-events.
Janawicz was joined on Team USA by Tom Adcock, Steve Badovinac and
Dan Knowlton at the National Bowling Stadium, and the group posted a
5,246 total to win gold by 401 pins. Mexico secured silver with
4,845, and Brazil took home bronze with 4,765.
In all-events, Janawicz put together an impressive 5,444 total to
also separate himself from the field by more than 280 pins. Mexico
teammates Mario Quintero (5,161) and Francisco Peralta (5,151)
earned silver and bronze, respectively, while Knowlton (5,076) and
Adcock (5,068) followed in fourth and fifth.
Team USA rallied to take over the lead in team during the final game
Friday, posting 946. They continued strong Saturday, finishing with
898, 949 and 857 as Janawicz fired games of 267, 279 and 220 for
766.
Janawicz had 1,427 in team and was followed by Badovinac (1,316),
Knowlton (1,300) and Adcock (1,203).
After averaging just over 212 in singles and doubles, Janawicz was
able to dial everything in and average more than 240 for his final
12 games of the week.
“The first couple days, I feel like I had a somewhat clear picture –
close but not close – and had to kind of see if there were trends of
things of what I needed to do,” said Janawicz, a USBC Hall of Famer.
“I fine-tuned ball speed and roll more than anything, and the part
of the lane I needed to be in. In the last couple days, I started to
figure out what I needed to do. Watching and talking with my
teammates and seeing what they were doing also helped me see where I
needed to be for my game.”
The teamwork and communication was key in helping the group get
settled in during Game 3 on Friday. The momentum continued Saturday
as they averaged more than 225 to claim the gold medal.
“I think we just got off to a slow start,” Janawicz said. “We
weren’t quite clicking the first couple games, but it started to get
a little bit better. With good communication, we were able to get
each other lined up and it definitely worked out in Game 3. We used
some of the things we learned to get there a lot faster today, and
fortunately, we had a good look right away on the first pair. It was
a great feeling to help contribute and help the team get a couple
gold medals.”
The men’s senior squad also swept the medals in singles (Knowlton –
gold, Adcock – silver, Janawicz – bronze) and recorded the victory
in trios with Adcock, Janawicz and Knowlton. Adcock and Knowlton
also earned bronze in doubles.
Badovinac collected his first medal of the week in the team event,
and he’ll now add it to the five he secured at the 2018 PANAM
Bowling Senior Championships in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
That week, he won gold in doubles, trios and team and earned silver
in all-events and bronze in Masters. He connected the two
experiences through the people he’s been able to meet through his
journey on and off the lanes.
“Being a military brat and having traveled the world and seen
different cultures, the biggest thing for me is that in 2018, I was
able to meet so many of these people and experience so many of them
again,” Badovinac said. “To experience that and give them
recognition for great performances and create great international
connections and friendships is really special.
“To carry it over with a gold medal for Team USA – there’s nothing
more important than representing your country. I cried on the
podium, and I knew I would. It just means so much to me being an
Army brat and knowing what my dad did for our country. Being able to
hear our national anthem, there’s not a better song on the planet.
I’m so grateful for the honor and so happy to be part of the team to
get the job done.”
The connection with his teammates in Reno also was very meaningful
for Badovinac, and he prided himself on being there for them.
“I think the best part is learning to get to know one another,”
Badovinac said. “Over the last few years bowling other events, I’ve
gotten to know Tom and Dan. Getting to be around JJ and watch him on
the PBA50 Tour and talk to him and learn about him as a human was a
great experience.
“The lanes were tricky, and it’s an evolution. You keep figuring out
more each day and try to be better each day. I think it’s easier to
build on that, and when you’re not bowling well, the key is to be a
great teammate. In trios, I didn’t get to bowl, but I’ve been in the
same position where I was able to bowl and someone else didn’t. I’ve
been on both sides and know the importance of being a great
teammate. Overall, I think the coaches were great and the chemistry
was phenomenal. It’s really fun to get to know people that have the
same passion for the sport.”
Mexico won the gold medal in the women’s Elite team event, averaging
nearly 220 as a group to finish with a 6,586 total.
Iliana Lomeli led Mexico’s performance with a 1,347 total, and she
was joined by Sandra Gongora (1,342), Paola Limon (1,339), Lilia
Robles (1,322) and Tannya Lopez (1,236). Mexico’s sixth member at
the 2024 event was Maria Cornejo.
Colombia averaged more than 223 on Saturday to move into second
place with 6,485 to edge the United States (6,479) for the silver
medal by six pins.
Lauren Russo led Team USA’s performance, rolling 765 on Saturday to
finish team with 1,363. Jillian Martin had 1,348, Shannon Pluhowsky
posted 1,330 and Breanna Clemmer finished with 1,213. Crystal
Elliott gave the team 663 on Friday, and Hope Gramly added 562 on
Saturday.
Costa Rica’s Elena Weinstok won her second gold of the 2024 event in
all-events, averaging more than 229 to finish with a 5,508 total.
She also was victorious in singles at the National Bowling Stadium.
Pluhowsky earned the silver medal with 5,440, and Aruba’s Kamilah
Dammers fired 287 in her final game to secure the bronze medal with
5,320.
Martin was fifth at 5,246, and Russo was sixth with 5,236.
The women’s Elite squad captured the gold medal in trios for Team
USA, as Martin, Pluhowsky and Russo rolled a record score to collect
the win Thursday, and Clemmer and Elliott paired up for silver in
doubles Wednesday.
Although the group just missed
the silver medal in team Saturday, they are walking away from the
2024 event knowing they can build on the things they learned in
Reno.
“That’s not exactly how we wanted it to end,” Pluhowsky said.
“Everyone could look back and say if I would have done this, we
would have got silver. But, I think we did well this week. Our zone
is getting stronger every year, and we’ll keep working to get better
for next time.
“A lot of us don’t bowl together too often – we bowl against each
other all the time. So, I think we learned a lot about what each
person likes to hear, what they like to see, what they feel and how
they see transition. I think everyone played well off each other
this week, and we’ll be stronger for the next time.”
This week’s coaching staff featured Team USA head coach Bryan
O’Keefe and assistants Andy Diercks and Bob Learn Jr.
O’Keefe noted the unique experience of having four teams at a single
location, along with many of the opportunities to learn throughout
the program’s time in Reno.
“This was the first time I’ve had four different teams, which made
for long but fun days,” O’Keefe said. “We watched people put on the
red, white and blue for the first time, and others who have worn it
countless times. It always feels great to represent the country, all
the USBC members and everyone associated with the program. It feels
awesome to come away with as many medals as we did. It’s always a
learning process, and the PANAM Championships is a great place for
people to gain some experience if they get called upon for a world
event down the road. Andy and Bob are some of the best in the
business, and I’m glad they were able to come out and support us.”
Team USA did not field a team for the Super Senior classification.
The gold medal in the mixed team event for the Super Senior field
went to Mexico’s Veronica Berumen, Maria Ruiz, Mario Garcia and
Rafael Gomez with a 4,553 total.
Ruiz also claimed the women’s all-events title with a 4,363 total.
Colombia’s David Romero won the men’s all-events gold with 4,773.
The 2024 PANAM Bowling Adult, Senior and Super Senior Championships
featured 19 countries from within the Western Hemisphere.
The next event on the schedule for Team USA will take place in
October at the PANAM Champion of Champions in Lima, Peru. The
tournament is slated for Oct. 5-10, and the traveling team for the
United States includes Elliott, Bryanna Coté, Matt Russo and Chris
Via.

MARTIN WINS 2024 USBC
QUEENS
BECOMES THE YOUNGEST TO WIN THE EVENT
5/22/24 - GREEN BAY, Wis.
- Jillian Martin of Stow, Ohio, took the longest road to the 2024
United States Bowling Congress Queens win Tuesday night at The
Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Martin qualified as the No. 2 seed heading into match play, but was
upset and sent to the Elimination Bracket with her back against the
wall. That did not stop her from winning match after match, getting
all the way to the final round and claiming the No. 3 seed on the
stepladder show. All told, she bowled 42 games before the show even
began.
It culminated in her becoming the youngest person to win the USBC
Queens at 19 years old, defeating Hope Gramly of Aubrey, Texas,
267-220.
“It means the world to me, just being able to go out here and show
everyone that anything is possible, no matter your age and no matter
who you are,” Martin said after her win.
Her stepladder journey started with a match against the defending
champion, Lindsay Boomershine of Brigham City, Utah, looking to be
the first to defend the tiara in over 40 years, and riding the
momentum of winning the opening match over Canada’s Felicia Wong,
193-154.
Boomershine made three great shots to start the match against
Martin, but couldn’t get the 10 pin to fall all three times, while
Martin had a spare and three strikes from the offset. A miss by
Martin in the fifth frame opened the door for Boomershine to seize
control of the match, but another 10 pin and a split kept Martin in
the driver’s seat.
Martin ended the match first, going strike, nine, spare to close out
with a 206, which meant Boomershine had to punch out for the tie.
The 10 pin reared its head yet again, even after a ball change,
ending Boomershine’s pursuit for her second Queens title as she
bowed out with a 186. Boomershine earned $17,500 for her
fourth-place finish.
Up next was Kelly Kulick of Union, New Jersey, who brought her many
years of experience to the table, as Kulick won her first major
before Martin was even born, setting up a match between the
Professional Women’s Bowling Association Tour past and present
versus the future of the tour.
For Kulick, the future looked to be here, as Martin rattled off four
strikes in the first five frames while Kulick had two splits and was
behind early. Martin kept the pressure up on Kulick, and an open in
the ninth frame was but a blip for Martin, who struck all three
shots in the 10th to fully shut out Kulick, 219-183. Kulick earned
$22,500 for the third-place finish.
Martin was now only one win away from earning the $60,000 top prize
and the tiara, with only Gramly standing in her way. Gramly earned
the No. 1 seed after going 6-0 and averaging over 234 in match play
and was looking to earn her first PWBA title and major. She was in a
similar position as Martin two years ago at the 2022 USBC Queens,
who qualified for the TV show as an amateur, placing fifth.
Martin came out strong yet again, starting with three strikes in the
first five frames while Gramly was unable to string together
strikes. Gramly rolled a turkey in frames five through seven and
seemed to take advantage of a spare from Martin.
That would be the last time Martin didn’t strike.
She went off the sheet for the final seven strikes and Gramly was
unable to keep up, with the final score of 267-220 in Martin’s
favor, becoming the youngest ever to win the USBC Queens. The
previous youngest was PWBA and USBC Hall of Fame Wendy Macpherson,
who won in 1988 at the age of 20.
Gramly earned $30,000 for her runner-up finish.
The stepladder finals started with Boomershine versus Wong, with
Wong making her first national TV show appearance. Boomershine was
able to stay in control of the match the entire way as Wong had a
few miscues and defeat her 193-154. Wong earned $12,500 for her
fifth-place finish.
Martin credits her mental game for being able to get to this point
with her back against the wall in the Elimination Bracket and to end
the week with the tiara after 45 total games.
“It’s that much sweeter knowing how good I was able to keep my
mindset through it all,” said Martin. “It shows the work I’ve put in
on the mental side has paid off.”
This is only the beginning for Martin, who already had a PWBA win
and is now a major champion.
“I hope everyone will see a lot more of me in the future.”
