Champions Determined at 2020 USBC Team USA Trials, U.S. Amateur

by Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
LAS VEGAS - Whether your preference is
a storybook or the record book, the 2020
United States Bowling Congress Team
USA Trials offered something for every-
one, providing a memorable mix of enter-
tainment and milestones.
USBC Hall of Famer Kelly Kulick of
Union, New Jersey, entered the event want-
ing to prove she still has what it takes to
perform on the national stage, and she did
so with a record-setting performance on the
way to a second consecutive USBC Team
USA Trials victory.
Matt Russo's journey to the men's title
was a tale of redemption and romance, as
he found his way back to Team USA after a
year away. He'll be leaving Las Vegas not
only with the coveted Team Trials trophy,
but also with a fiancee - who happened to
qualify for Team USA, as well.
Breanna Clemmer of Clover, South
Carolina, found her way into the spotlight
for the second time, too, successfully

champion and a member of both Team USA
and Junior Team USA.
Kulick finished the 2020 Team USA
Trials with a record 13 ranking points, accu-
mulated over five days on five World
Bowling lane conditions, varying from 33
to 45 feet.
Players earned points based on where they
finished in the daily standings. The leader
received one point, second place earned two
points and so on, with the lowest number of
ranking points after the five six-game
blocks determining the 2020 Team Trials
champions.
Over the five rounds, Kulick finished
first, first, seventh, first and third, and her
point total bested the previous women's
record of 24, posted by longtime Team USA
member Danielle McEwan on the way to
the 2016 Team Trials title.
Tuesday's win at the Gold Coast Bowling
Center earned Kulick a spot on Team USA
for the 16th time, and, at 42, the right-han-
der is the oldest woman to win the event,
besting the mark she set in the same venue
last year.

Continued from Page 1
Betts, who turned 27 in October, has been an
enthusiastic and talented bowler most of his life. He
was named Tennessee High School Bowler of the
Year in 2010 and began developing his relationship
with the PBA in 2014 when he made it known he
wanted to participate in the annual Chris Paul PBA
Celebrity Invitational, an annual fundraiser hosted by
the National Basketball Association superstar in part-
nership with the PBA. Betts has subsequently bowled
in the CP3 event three times, winning the doubles
title in the 2019 event with PBA partner Tommy
Jones who will be inducted into the PBA Hall of
Fame during ceremonies on Saturday, Jan. 18, as part
of the PBA HOF weekend.
Betts is destined to become one of baseball’s all-
time great players if his career path remains on track.
In 2018 he became the first player in Major Baseball
League history to win the Most Valuable Player,
Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, batting title and a World
Series ring in the same season.
Betts, who has been practicing three to four days a
week over the winter, is enthusiastic about his return
to the lanes to add another chapter to his bowling
resumé.
“Bowling is a sport I’ve enjoyed with my family
since I was a kid,” Betts said. “It brings a sense of
community that’s important in my life.”
The PBA Hall of Fame Classic will be contested in
the 14-lane International Training and Research
Center which is a joint venture between United States
Bowling Congress and the Bowling Proprietors'
Association of America. It is one of the most innova-
tive and advanced training, research and testing facil-
ities in the sport of bowling, and serves as the train-
ing facility for Team USA, among its numerous func-
tions.
Bill O’Neill of Langhorne, Pennsylvania, is the
defending PBA Hall of Fame Classic champion, win-
ning the 2019 title by defeating top qualifier Jakob
Butturff of Tempe, Ariz., 199-194, in the final match.

Phyllis Notaro
ARLINGTON, Texas – Phyllis Notaro, a United States Bowling
Congress Hall of Fame member from Brant, New York, died
Monday, Dec. 30, at Orchard Heights Assisted Living. She was 91.
Elected to the USBC Hall of Fame for Superior Performance in
1979, Notaro won the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America
(BPAA) All-Star Match Play Tournament in 1961 and had three
other top-10 finishes at the event.
She teamed with Jessie Miller to capture the 1966 BPAA National
Doubles title.
Notaro made the finals at the World’s Invitational Tournament
five times, finishing second in 1957 and fifth in both 1958 and
1959.
She competed on the Professional Women’s Bowling Association
(PWBA) Tour, with a high finish of second at the 1964 Billy Simon
Oak Hill Classic in San Antonio. She had 11 other top-10 finishes
in PWBA events, including a fifth-place finish at the 1970 event in
Rochester, New York, where she had a 1,412 six-game series to set
a then-national women’s record.
She first garnered national attention with a 289 game in singles at
the 1952 United States Bowling Congress Women’s
Championships, a record that stood until 1962, on her way to a sec-
ond-place finish. More than two decades later, she captured a
Women’s Championships title, winning the 1975 team title as cap-
tain of the team sponsored by the Atlanta Bowling Center.
She competed in 55 Women’s Championships, with her final
appearance coming at the 2004 event in Wichita, Kansas.
Born March 1, 1928, in Brant, she started her bowling career in
the Buffalo suburb in 1946. She won 14 New York State champi-
onship titles and 26 Buffalo city titles in her career. She was elect-
ed to the All-American Women’s Team in 1958 and 1961 and
earned the Women’s International Bowling Congress (now part of
USBC) National High Average Award in 1962 with a 201 average.
In addition to the USBC Hall of Fame, she was elected to the
Buffalo Women’s Bowling Association (1986) and the Buffalo
Sports (1993) Halls of Fame.

"I have no inclination of where this performance came
from, but I really just stopped thinking so much along the
way, which might have been the key," Kulick said. "I think
the coach in me makes me too analytical at times, but I did-
n't let it get in my way this week. My goal was to make the
team again and enjoy the perks that go with it, along with
getting to go back to the World Cup and share that experi-
ence with Matt Russo. I've still got gas left in the tank and
fire in me that wants to win every time I put on my shoes.
"There have been some rough patches along the way this
past year, and I don't know what 2020 will bring, but com-
ing here and finding success against this talented field the
way I did was unfathomable. I didn't look at scores or stand-
ings and just stayed within myself. I focused on a free
swing and posting my shot, and I think it probably was one
of the smartest tournaments I've ever bowled."
Russo, the 2017 U.S. Amateur champion and a two-time
member of Team USA, accumulated 51 ranking points this
week, 45 of which came on the second day of the event. The
other four days, he finished first, second, first and second,
respectively.
The 23-year-old left-hander returns to Team USA after
failing to qualify for a third consecutive appearance in
2019.
"It's crazy to think about the last few years and the things
I've accomplished, and it feels amazing, but I don't know
that what happened this week has sunk in yet," said Russo,
who added to the memorable week by proposing to new
Team USA member Lauren Pate, who accepted. "It feels
like all the hard work I've put in this year has paid off, and
it all feels incredible, on and off the lanes. I couldn't have
asked for a better week."
All four champions Tuesday earned automatic spots on
Team USA, with Kulick and Russo also getting the chance
to represent the United States at the 2020 QubicaAMF
Bowling World Cup, which will be held in Kuwait.
Just over a month ago, Kulick returned from the 2019
QubicaAMF World Cup, where she finished tied for third
place. Getting a shot at redemption at the prestigious event
was an additional motivator for her as she prepared for the
2020 Team Trials.
After the final qualifying round at the Team Trials, the top
three amateur men and top three amateur women in the
overall standings advanced to a stepladder to determine the
U.S. Amateur champions.
Clemmer, a 22-year-old right-hander, wasted no time set-
ting the pace in the women's final against Cayla Hicks of
Salem, Virginia, tossing five consecutive strikes after a
first-frame spare. She rolled to a 233-192 victory.
Clemmer will make her second consecutive appearance
on Team USA, which follows five years on Junior Team
USA.
"I went into the final match with a lot of nerves and hop-
ing to see all the work and preparation pay off, while also
overcoming some of the mental challenges I've had and
been working on, too," Clemmer said. "I told myself I was
going to be the 2020 U.S. Amateur champion, I believed it
and that's what happened. I had some special people behind
me tonight, and my grandparents have worked really hard
USBC Continued from Page 1
to allow me to come out here and live my dream, so this is
for them."
Crowe, 18, piled on the strikes in the men's final, defeat-
ing 17-year-old left-hander Solomon Salama of Beverly
Hills, California, 269-215. Salama, a member of both Team
USA and Junior Team USA in 2019, finished third in the
U.S. Amateur Championships last year.
"This is so surreal, and never in a million years could I
have imagined this would happen," Crowe said. "Even
knowing the hard work and time and dedication I put into
this, this is more than I could've expected. Making both
teams and winning the U.S. Amateur title - this is one of the
best weeks of my life.
"I am most looking forward to meeting new people and
growing as an individual and as a bowler. I feel like we're
all going to bond and help each other and feed off each
other, and it's going to be a really good year for Team
USA."
In the U.S. Amateur semifinals, Hicks started with a pair of
open frames but struck on six of her last seven shots to get
past Paige Peters of Toms River, New Jersey, 203-173.
Salama closed with five strikes and forced Alex Glinski of
Linfield, Pennsylvania, to throw three strikes in his final
frame for a tie. He got the first strike but left a 7 pin on his
second offering, and Salama escaped with a 228-217 victory.
By virtue of their finishes among the top four in the Team
Trials standings, Michael Martell of Chicago, Crowe and
Kyle Sherman of O'Fallon, Missouri, also earned automatic
berths on Team USA.
Since Crowe went on to win the U.S. Amateur title and
automatic bid, a spot went to now three-time Team USA
member Nick Pate of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, who
finished fifth in the overall Team Trials standings.
In addition to Kulick, Sydney Brummett of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, Lauren Pate of Inver Grove Heights and Clemmer
earned automatic spots on Team USA for their top-four fin-
ishes in the Team Trials.
Because Clemmer went on to win the women's U.S.
Amateur title, a spot on Team USA was awarded to fifth-
place Team Trials finisher Shannon O'Keefe of Shiloh,
Illinois, who has been on the team each year since 2005.
Andrew Anderson of Holly, Michigan, and AJ Johnson of
Oswego, Illinois, were selected by the National Selection
Committee to join the men's team for 2020 based on their
performances this week.
Kyle Troup of Taylorsville, North Carolina, Marshall

overall performances were Crowe, Salama, Glinski and
Briley Haugh of Faribault, Minnesota.

Henderson, Nevada, Tyrell Ingalls of Loganville, Georgia,
