GUADALAJARA, Mexico - Liz Johnson

of Cheektowaga, N.Y., won the women's

singles giving Team USA three gold

medals in four events in bowling at the

2011 Pan American Games.

Johnson defeated Jennifer Park of

Canada, 2-0, to earn the gold at Bolerama

Tapatio. Chris Barnes of Double Oak,

Texas, took the silver medal in men's sin-

gles, falling in the championship match 2-

0 to Santiago Mejia of Colombia.

"Anytime you win three out of four gold

medals you can't say anything but that it

was successful," Team USA head coach

Rod Ross said. "We had a shot at getting all

four, but Colombia bowled extremely well

and deserved to earn the gold."

Johnson had little trouble in the gold-

medal match, taking down Park 232-196 and 235-190 in the

best-of-three format."It was a tough battle but it feels great to come out on top,"

Johnson said. "There were some great players in this field.

Physically I felt really good, and I used a few tricks in my bag

to do what I had to do to strike."

Barnes, meanwhile, was never able to get on track in his

match against Mejia, losing 189-171 and 205-193.

"Of course it is disappointing not to win the gold, but I just

didn't perform very well," Barnes said.

"The left lane was tricky, and I wasn't able

to put any pressure on him. He bowled

very well and kept all the pressure on me."

In the semifinals, Barnes advanced with

a 2-1 victory over Manuel Fernandez of the

Dominican Republic, while Mejia defeat-

ed Marcelo Suartz of Brazil, 2-1. Johnson

knocked off Karen Marcano of Venezuela,

2-0, and Park defeated Canadian teammate

Caroline Lagrange, 2-1. The semifinal los-

ers shared the bronze medal.

Team USA's Bill O'Neill of

Southampton, Pa., lost in the quarterfinals

to Mejia, 711-589 in the three games, total

pinfall match. Kelly Kulick of Union, N.J.,

fell in the opening round to Brazil's

Stephanie Martins, 630-587.

The United States started the Pan American Games by

sweeping the men's and women's doubles gold medals. Sincebowling became a medal sport in 1991, Team USA has earned

20 of a possible 28 gold medals in bowling at the Pan American

Games.

Held every four years, the Pan American Games are the sec-

ond-largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games. This

year, nearly 6,000 athletes from the American Zone are com-

peting in 36 sports.
