Bowling has been a great experience, being a mix of both a social and competitive sport where you can hang out with your friends,” said Walter Jaklitsch, who has been on the team for three years since, “We’ve progressed from a one-win team to a 4th place team, and we are excited heading into our third year as a team.”
