Junior Team USA Representatives Selected for 2019 World Bowling Junior Championships
ARLINGTON, Texas - The 2024
Summer Olympics still is a few
years away, but sports fans in
France soon will get their fix of
top-level competition when the
inaugural World Bowling Junior
Championships heads their way in
March.
The tournament will take place at
the 28-lane Plaza Bowling Saint
Maximin in Saint-Maximin,
France, about 40 miles outside of
Paris, from March 17-23.
More than 150 of the world's best
young bowlers, age 18 and under,
are expected to take part in the first
edition of the event.
Among them will be a quartet of
Junior Team USA members who
will compete overseas for the first
time - Mabel Cummins of Elburn,
Illinois; Kamerin Peters of Toms
River, New Jersey; Anthony Neuer
of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania; and
Solomon Salama of Beverly Hills,
California.
"It's going to be an honor com-
peting in this event and getting to
wear that Team USA jersey," said
Neuer, a two-time member of
Junior Team USA. "Being that it's
the first time the tournament has
been held will make it even more
special, though I'm sure it won't
really hit me until I'm sitting on the
plane."
Each country will send two girls
and two boys to compete in five
disciplines - singles, doubles,
mixed team, all-events and
Masters.
The first three events each will
feature six games, with the top four
in each division advancing to their
respective semifinals. Gold, silver
and bronze all-events medals will
be awarded in each division based
on 18-game pinfall totals, and the
top 24 girls and top 24 boys will
advance to the Masters portion of
the event.
"It honestly means the world to
SPORTS REPORTER
me to be able to represent the USA,
and it's an honor to bowl with some
of the best in the country," said
Peters, a 16-year-old right-hander.
"Being chosen to bowl at the World
Championships in my first year on
the team was shocking, yet excit-
ing, news from (Junior Team USA
head coach) Bryan (O'Keefe)."
Despite their ages, the members
of Junior Team USA have compet-
ed, and found continued success,
across the United States and on a
variety of challenging lane condi-
tions.
Though they won't know exactly
what to expect when they hit the
lanes in France, their invisible
opponent, the oil pattern, has been
narrowed to six possibilities.
Each year, World Bowling pub-
lishes a collection of oil patterns, so
all bowlers can be familiar and pre-
pared with what they might see at a
World Bowling event. This year,
the 12 patterns range from 36 to 44
feet and are divided into two six-
pattern banks - Bank 30 and Bank
40.
It has been determined the 2019
World Bowling Junior
Championships will feature a pat-
tern from Bank 40, and the final
selection will be revealed during
the on-site managers' meeting.
Before O'Keefe can plan to help
the young team get acclimated to
competing nearly 5,000 miles from
home, he'll assist with selecting the
proper equipment for what they'll
be facing at the event. Each bowler
is allowed just six bowling balls.
"The Junior Team USA players
may live all over the country, but
they're always communicating and
simultaneously working on the
things that will make them better
and make sure they're prepared for
whatever competition we have
coming up," O'Keefe said.
"Technology allows us to keep in
touch and even look in on their
drills and practices. We also spend
time talking about equipment and
surface prep, so they'll have the
right arsenal in their bags anytime
they compete."
Progressing through the Team
USA program, in all four cases
through success at the Junior Gold
Championships presented by the
Brands of Ebonite, the four Junior
Team USA representatives already
are very comfortable together on
the lanes.
For Neuer and Salama, both 16-
year-old left-handers and two-time
Junior Gold champions, being
friends and being familiar with
each other's games should help
enhance their experience and their
performances at the World Junior
Championships.
Also motivating them will be the
pride of competing in such a signif-
icant event.
"I am aware that this event is
important to the future of bowling
as a worldwide sport, and I hope it
shows people that bowling is a
strenuous sport that requires
endurance, mental prowess, disci-
pline and imagination," Salama
said. "When people watch me bowl
5
this event, I want them not to only
see my drive and competitiveness,
but also to see that I carry myself
with grace and cordiality."
But, as much as the World
Bowling events are about competi-
tion, they also offer what may be a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for
competitors to experience an unfa-
miliar location and culture. They
get to meet bowlers from different
backgrounds and see how different
and alike they are at the same time.
In 2018, the Team USA program
was represented at international
events in Brazil, Canada,
Dominican Republic, Hong Kong
and at home in the United States.
This year will bring the team
members to the Dominican
Republic (Pan American Bowling
Confederation Youth
Championships), France (World
Junior Championships), Peru
(PABCON Men's Championships
and Pan American Games), a to-be-
determined location for the
QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup
and back to Las Vegas for the 2019
World Bowling Women's
Championships and World
Bowling Senior Championships.
For Cummins, a team gold
medalist at the 2018 World
Bowling Youth Championships in
the Detroit area, traveling to France
will offer an opportunity to test her
skills in two areas - as a bowler and
as a student who has spent two
years learning French. She's look-
ing forward to competing and serv-
ing as the team's spokesperson or
translator, as needed.
"I know this event will provide
great opportunities to meet new
friends and be an ambassador for
the sport of bowling, but I also plan
to help my teammates earn recog-
nition as the best youth bowlers in
the world," said Cummins, a 16-
year-old right-hander and two-time
member of Junior Team USA. "I
am very thankful for the USBC's
support of youth bowling and
Junior Team USA. The chance to
compete in tournaments like the
WJC is what motivates me to be
the best I can be."

AVON LAKE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM MAKES FIELD TRIP
TO SUPPORT CHRIS LOSCHETTER
Supported by his Avon Lake High School bowling
team, PBA Tour champion Chris Loschetter, who is
an assistant coach for the Avon, Ohio, team, jumped
from 33rd to qualify 17th for the match play finals of
the PBA Tournament of Champions at AMF Riviera
Lanes in Fairlawn, Ohio.
With the 30-plus members of the Avon Lake team
cheering every shot, Loschetter rolled games of 211,
186, 245, 220, 261 and 254 in the third round to
make the cut.
“I’d like to say it was all for me, but this was an
opportunity for our players to see the greatest
bowlers in the world,” Loschetter said. “It’s one
March 13 - 19, 2019
thing for us as coaches to teach the game, but for
young bowlers to have the opportunity to see what
we teach them at the highest level is an invaluable
experience.
“This is as much fun as I’ve had bowling in a long
time,” Loschetter added. “I don’t think I would have
made it to this point without their support.”
