3rd Straight Pepsi Championship for Senate Scratch Girls
In 2003-04 Allyson "First Lady" Smith captured da Senates first ever State Championship of the Pepsi-Cola Tour in the girls Scratch Division. She is now bowling on a NCAA Scholarship at Texas Southern University. In 2004-05, Deanna "da Queen" Outland won over Allyson and advanced to the Junior Olympic Gold National Bowling Championship in Indianapolis, IN as the Rhode Island representative. Last week, Nicole "Minus Two" Trudell won the 2005-06 State Championship and at 12 years of age to become the States youngest qualifier & champion. Nicole will now represent our program and State at the National Junior Bowling Championship Tour in Fort Lauderdale, Florida this coming July on the tough sport shot lane conditions. She possibly could be the youngest girl at the event. She will now compete against college girls and many of the country's top female bowlers for the opportunity to make Junior Team USA. Nicole, who qualified as the third seed in our state tour, won both of her head-to-head matches en route to the state title. She first faced a girl from Old Mountain Juniors and won easily, 189-128. In the state finals, she squared off against the states major girls highest average bowler out of Kingstown Juniors, who also bowled a 290 game this season and was victorious, 209-176.
Higher and Higher
On April 23rd, in the first set of the double league session, Nicole Trudell, age 12, broke the Senate Record for Series in the junior girls division for the third time this season. On this date, Nicole bowled and outstanding 669 series with games of 231, 208 and 230. She first broke the record with a 637 series back in January, and then again in February when she shot a 640 series. Nicole, who now holds records in two different divisions at the Senate, continues to make a name for herself not only in the program but also on a state and national level. In March, she became the youngest person to ever win the Ocean State USBC Pepsi-Cola Tournament in the Scratch Division. She now will travel to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to compete in the 2006 Junior Olympic Gold National Bowling Championship Tour as the lone female Rhode Island representative. She could possibly be the youngest female athlete at the event, which showcases many of the best youth bowlers in the country. At seasons end, Nicole may add two more records to her list: (1) Senate High Average (junior girls); and (2) State High Average, which will make her our programs first ever back-to-back USBC State High Average winner. This is quite a feat considering that Nicole is only in her first year in a higher age division. Congratulations to you, Nicole, we are very proud of you!
