ARLINGTON, Texas – A pair of Professional Women’s Bowling Association Tour champions made their way to the top of the list to claim United States Bowling Congress National High Average and Series Awards for the 2021-2022 season.
Liz Kuhlkin of Schenectady, New York, and Breanna Clemmer of Clover, South Carolina, are two of the 10 award winners being recognized for the top performances of the season. The USBC National High Average and Series Awards are presented to adult male and female USBC members and youth USBC members in male and female divisions.
Kuhlkin earns the women’s high average award for the second time in three seasons after recording a 247.29 average for 124 games in The Reis Group-Kim Brown Mixed DBLS league at Schenectady’s Towne Bowling Academy. The three-time PWBA Tour champion also claimed the top average (240) during the 2019-2020 season.
Her performance during the 2021-2022 season ranks third on the all-time average list for female competitors, sets the record for a doubles league on the women’s side and adds another national award to her collection.
She was the Youth Female National High Average Award winner for three consecutive seasons (2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011) and set the women’s three-game series record during the 2016-2017 season to win the high series award with an 890 set.
The men’s high average award for 2021-2022 belongs to Jesse Hawkins of Pikeville, Kentucky, for posting a 257.47 clip for 90 games during the Gary Stepp Memorial 21-22 league at the Hatfield McCoy Rec Center in Williamson, West Virginia.
Hawkins moves into fourth place on the all-time average list in the men’s division and now holds the top average on the men’s side for a four-player league.
The youth high average awards for 2021-2022 go to Melia Mitskavich of DuBois, Pennsylvania, and Wyatt Honecker of Rochester, Minnesota.
Mitskavich collected the youth female award after finishing the season with a 237.53 average for 75 games during the DuBois Lanes Juniors league at DuBois Lanes, Inc.
Mitskavich is the daughter of three-time PWBA Tour champion Jackie Mitskavich.
Honecker averaged 242.33 over 66 games during the P.M. Strikers league at Rochester’s Bowlocity to win the youth male award for the 2021-2022 season.
Clemmer earned the Adult Female USBC National High Series Award for her incredible run during qualifying at the 2022 PWBA St. Petersburg-Clearwater Open at Seminole Lanes in Seminole, Florida.
During Games 4, 5 and 6 of her second qualifying round June 3, Clemmer rolled games of 300, 300 and 279 for an 879 series. She rolled 29 consecutive strikes before leaving a 10 pin in the sixth frame of Game 6.
The score is tied for third all-time on the USBC list for female bowlers, and her performance set the new three-game mark for PWBA competition. Jackie Mitskavich had held the PWBA record with an 877 set in 1997.
Clemmer went on to earn the top seed for the stepladder finals at the event and claimed her first PWBA Tour title with a 226-181 victory over 2021 PWBA Player of the Year Bryanna Coté of Tucson, Arizona.
Three competitors on the men’s side shared top honors for the USBC National High Series Award with a 900 series during the 2021-2022 season.
Cody Schmitt of Plymouth, Wisconsin, was the first to achieve the feat during the season, posting his perfect series Nov. 16, 2021, during the Tuesday GFL at Anchor Lanes in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Stephen Kosela of Ambridge, Pennsylvania, rolled three consecutive 300s during his singles set March 13, 2022, at the Beaver Valley USBC Open Championships at Sheffield Lanes in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania.
Bryan Deck of New Castle, Indiana, posted the 40th USBC-approved 900 on June 20, 2022, during the Summer Chase The Cash league at New Castle’s Rose City Bowl.
In the youth divisions, Claire Jacobson of New Prague, Minnesota, and Drue Hutmacher of Rapid City, South Dakota, posted the top sets of the season.
Jacobson earned the youth female award with her performance Jan. 29, 2022, during the Saturday Morning Juniors league at New Prague’s Strike Force Bowl. She rolled games of 300, 279 and 265 for an 844 series.
Hutmacher won the youth male award with games of 300, 279 and 278 for an 857 set during the Stars and Strikes league Nov. 6, 2021, at Rapid City’s Meadowood Lanes.
