Two youth bowlers will represent the North Central Zone at provincials in Nanaimo March 2 and 3.
Kara-Lynn McAlpine and Renee O’Hara won that spot after competing at the zones in Prince George where there were teams from communities between Smithers and 100 Mile House competing as bantams, juniors and seniors.
“We did pretty good,” Kara said during a practice at the Cariboo Bowling Lanes in Williams Lake Monday, Feb. 12.
At the zones they played five games and the total points pushed them into first place.
A bowler since she was two-and-a-half years old, Kara said she likes the adrenaline of tournaments and meeting different people.
Looking forward to competing in Nanaimo, she said it will be her first time going there.
She is also excited about playing against teams from the south.
Renee began bowling when she was eight years of age.
When asked why she thinks the did so well in Prince George, she responded because they listened to their coach Kevin McAlpine.
At provincials, they will play 10 games, Renee confirmed.
Over the two days they will play five games each day.
