LOGAN GLINKA, Washburn Rural
Glinka placed seventh individually in his first Class 6A state bowling tournament last Friday at Wichita's Northrock Lanes with a 696 series while helping Washburn Rural capture the state team title by a 135-pin margin over Olathe Northwest
Glinka bowled games of 205, 254 and 237 as the Junior Blues built a precarious 11-pin advantage through the three American Ten-Pin games and then buried the field in the four Baker format games.
Rural's winning 3,711 pin total was the most ever scored by a 6A team in the state tournament.

JAELINN THETFORD, Seaman
After narrowly missing a state medal as a sophomore, Thetford bowled a 624 series to finish third individually last Thursday in the Class 5A-1A state tournament at Northrock Lanes in Wichita to help Seaman earn the third-place team trophy.
Great Bend claimed the team title by a 3,161-3,078 margin over Salina South, with Seaman third at 3,007, 109 pins in front of fourth-place Buhler for the final team trophy.
Thetford's performance in this year's state tournament came after she finished 22nd in the 2022 state meet for the state-champion Vikings.
