Champions Determined at 2022 USBC Team USA Trials, U.S. Amateur
LAS VEGAS – Following a lengthy hiatus due to COVID-19, international bowling competition recently resumed, and the Team USA program returned to action for a handful of successful events on two continents.
For some players, the excitement and momentum from those trips carried over to the 2022 United States Bowling Congress Team USA Trials, where they battled over five days to retain their spots on the Team USA roster.
Others arrived at the Gold Coast Bowling Center this week looking for the opportunity to make the team in the new year and help be a part of the squad’s success in 2022.
The top overall performers across 30 games and five challenging oil patterns were Shannon Pluhowsky of Dayton, Ohio, and Darren Tang of Las Vegas. They bested their respective fields of 125 women and 161 men.
Two other competitors – Chloe Skurzynski of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and Trent Mitchell of Chicago – also claimed titles Friday as the nation’s best non-professionals. The U.S. National Amateur Bowling Championships was contested simultaneously using the same qualifying scores.
Skurzynski and Mitchell each survived a stepladder final that included the top three players from their divisions. The action unfolded live on BowlTV.
All four champions were among the 10 competitors who earned automatic berths on Team USA for 2022 based on their success this week in Las Vegas.
