The team knocked off three of the four No. 1 seeds before losing to the final No. 1 seed in the finals, finishing second. “We battled through many tough matches, including some tie-breakers,” says Tyler Frahm, bowling team president. “We bowled the most games out of everyone and were rewarded with our second place finish."
