Area bowlers show out at state
Mt. Pleasant duo, Fairfield’s Ehret battle in Waterloo
WATERLOO — The Class 2A portion of the 2022 Iowa State bowling tournament took place on Wednesday and the area was well represented as a couple of Panthers and one Trojan took to the lanes.
Mt. Pleasant’s Eden Svoboda and Fairfield’s Karen Ehret finished neck-and-neck in the girls standings. Svoboda took 24th out of the 32 competitors, bowling a 477. Ehret was two pins behind her, finishing at 475, for 25th.
Svoboda stayed consistent all night, bowling a 163, a 170 and a 144 to reach her total. Ehret had a slow start, rolling 163 in her first game, but boomed with a 211 in her second before finishing with a 148.
On the boys’ side, Cole Wohlleber took 26th. He bowled a 171, a 193 and a 183 to get to a total of 547.
None of the area bowlers made the Top-8, which qualifies you for the tournament. Keokuk had a few qualifiers as Blake Hemann made it on the boys’ side and Rachel Moore and Sophia Rule on the girls’ side. Rule finished third.
