The battle for second place was a close one, but the top spot seemingly belonged to Downers Grove South from the opening frame at the Ed Puck girls bowling tournament Friday at Willowbrook Lanes.
The Mustangs rolled a six-game total of 6,789, more than 600 pins ahead of runner-up host Hinsdale South (6,183). Downers North, led by Hallie Niewold’s 209 high average, was a close third (6,160).
Downers South was the only team to break 1,100 in a game and did it in four of the six games, never dropping below 1,000 in any round.
Audrey Yurek (194.67) led the Mustangs fifth-through-eighth place finishes, followed by Cayla Clark (193.33), Jessie Franklin (192.67) and Katie Jones (192.17).
Individual champion Niewold struggled with a 160 and 179 in the opening two games before rolling 214 or better to finish out, including a personal game-high 244. Fenton’s Nadine Blecke had the tourney’s high game with a 251 en route to runner-up honors (200.17).
Sarah Beckius (196.67) and Vickie Hall (194.67) finished third and fourth, respectively, to lead Hinsdale South.
Downers North’s Rachel Oldham (184.83) and Downers South’s Ashley Czubernat (183.50) rounded out the top 10.
Hinsdale Central (4,753) finished eighth at the eight-team invite.
