USA Takes Trios Gold at World Women’s ChampionshipsBy Lucas Wiseman - USBC
Ralph Barrientos Rolled 300
At Maple Lanes
HONG KONG - Team USA
claimed its second consecutive
gold medal of the 2011 World
Tenpin Bowling Association
World Women's Championships,
taking home the trios gold for the
first time since 1987.
The U.S. team of Shannon
O'Keefe, Shannon Pluhowsky and
Stefanie Nation defeated Japan's
Haruka Matsuda, Kanako
Ishimine and Natsuki Sasaki, 631-
605, at Hong Kong Bowling City
in the title match. The win, which
was broadcast live on
BOWL.com, came two days after
Team USA's Pluhowsky and Liz
Johnson won the doubles event.
O'Keefe led the trio in the cham-
pionship match with a 226 game,
while Nation had 224 and
Pluhowsky shot 181. Japan was
led by Ishimine's 213, while Sasaki
had 204 and Matsuda shot 188.
"After we won, all I could think
was 'did that just happen,'"
O'Keefe said. "As soon as the
national anthem started playing, it
was nothing but tears. It feels
unbelievable to share this with my
teammates."
In the semifinals, Team USA
advanced to the gold-medal match
with a 750-663 victory over
Korea. Japan knocked out the
other U.S. threesome of Johnson,
Kelly Kulick and Carolyn Dorin-
Ballard, 668-661. The semifinals
losers shared the bronze medal.
In reaching the semifinals as the
No. 4 seed, O'Keefe, Pluhowsky
and Nation fired a World
Championships qualifying record
802 game in the fifth of six games.
O'Keefe fired the tournament's
third 300 game in helping Team
USA to the record.
The 2011 World Women's
Championships features 171
bowlers from 33 countries. The
teams are competing in six disci-
plines - doubles, trios, team, sin-
gles, all-events and match-play
Masters.

WTBA Congress Re-elects
Kevin Dornberger PresidentHONG KONG - Kevin Dornberger of the United States was re-elected
president of the World Tenpin Bowling Association for a second four-
year term by the WTBA Congress.
The election was one of several major announcements and decisions
made by representatives of 90 bowling federations from around the
world at the Kowloon Bay International Trade and Exhibition Center.
"I sincerely appreciate the faith the delegates have shown in me by re-
electing me to another term," said Dornberger, who defeated Catalonia's
Joan Ricart. "We have made a lot of progress in the past four years, and
I look forward to continuing that progress in the next four years."
In addition to the presidential election, it was announced Monday that
Brunswick would offer $50,000 in matching funds to the WTBA for
worldwide youth development. The funds will be jointly administered
by WTBA and Brunswick.
"We are pleased to do this to show our support of competitive bowling
around the world," President of Brunswick Bowling Products Brent
Perrier said. "These funds will be used to help build the next generation
of youth bowlers."
The WTBA Congress also made several important legislative deci-
sions, including the creation of a new event - the WTBA World Singles
Championships. The event will be held every four years beginning in
2012 when it is hosted in Cyprus.
The new event gives WTBA a world championship event every year,
filling a void created under the previous calendar. The joint men's and
women's World Championships will take place in 2013, the Men's World
Championships will take place in 2014 and World Women's
Championships in 2015. Each of those events are also held every four
years.
"It's important for WTBA to conduct a world championship event on
an annual basis and this new event accomplishes that goal," Dornberger
said. "The World Singles Championships also gives us an additional
event to garner sponsor support and potential international media
involvement."
Other major decisions made by the WTBA Congress:
- The match-play Masters at future World Championships was
changed from its current best-of-five format to a round-robin format
with the top four players advancing to the medal round.
- Practice times for future World Championships were altered slightly.
Instead of 15 minutes of practice before the trios event there will now be
10 minutes, and the five-player team event will change from 25 minutes
to 15 minutes. Practice times for the other disciplines remains at 10 min-
utes.
- Finland's Pekka Korpi was elected first vice president of WTBA,
defeating Michael Seymour of Australia in the final round of voting by
one vote. Seymour was then elected second vice president.
The World Tenpin Bowling Association, which is made up of more
than 100 bowling federations, governs the sport throughout the world.

Alec Gruttadauria Tops
North Arlington JuniorsBy Vince Albrecht
NORTH ARLINGTON, NJ – Youth Bowler of the Week accolades went
to 13-year-old Alec Gruttadauria whose three solid games gave him 471,
the session’s top junior mark in the Adult-Jr Doubles at North Arlington.
Alec’s effort raised his average three pins in helping Kurgan Bergen
gain three of seven points from Disastrous Poultry whose 14-year-old
Sam Passaro finished perky with a 29-pin over average game which
cemented Poultry’s victory.
The other highlighted position encounter between the league’s top two
teams ended with a flip-flop in the standings as the Razzle Dazzlerz
mystified the Flaming Mangos with a three-game sweep, 944-852. The
Dazzlers’ 13-year-old Chris McBride rattled the maples with closing
scores of 179,152 while average leader 15-year-old Danny Bivin rolled
the evening’s high single of 191 for the Mangos.
The Spring-Summer version of North Arlington’s Adult-Junior
Doubles began with a bang for young kegler’s Danny Bivin and Chris
McBride. Danny has come out of
the gate with a pair of 584 three-
somes including a 219 single. Chris
broke loose for a 226-532 this past
session, leading his Razzle Dazzlers
team to two of three over Danny’s
Flaming Mangos and undisputed
possession of first place.
Meanwhile, Disastrous Poultry
[would you believe that name?]
bowled over Kurkan Bergen, 7-0 as
fourteen-year-old Sam Passaro fash-
ioned a strong over average +31.
Twelve-year-old Alec Gruttadauria
continued to show improvement for
Kurkan Bergen, raising his average
six pins with a 157-441 outing.
