RENO Nev. - Rusty Thomsen of South Amboy, N.J., admits he's his own biggest critic, and he felt like he underperformed in his first two events at the 2013 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships, but everything fell into place for his final set at the National Bowling Stadium last week. The 32-year-old right-hander started singles with 15 consecutive strikes, before a 7 pin ended his run. He finished with games of 300, 246 and 180 for a 726 series, and the surge helped keep HornswogglerS of Staten Island, N.Y., in the race for Team All-Events. Thomsen's per- fect game was the ninth of the 2013 event. "I was relaxed during the 300, and I wasn't nerv- ous," Thomsen said. "I was focused on one good shot at a time. I went 15 frames without having to think about moving, and that helped. But, I definitely was thinking about the singles lead until I knew I mathe- matically couldn't get there." Although he will not take home a singles title, and the team fell just short in Team All-Events, settling into second place with a 10,204 total. Thomsen rec- ognizes that their preparation and strategy paid divi- dends as he and his teammates made a run at the leaderboard in every category this week. Kelly Bonta of Wichita, Kan., leads Regular Singles with 776, while Junior Team USA Support 1 of Mansfield, Texas, tops Team All-Events with 10,247. "How many times do you get to go to an event like this and legitimately make a run at every event you bowl in?" said Thomsen, who had 644 in team and 628 in doubles for a career-best 1,998 all-events total. "This is the first year all five of us have bowled together here, and it was a great experience. The team chemistry was really good, and we came in with a game plan and stuck with it." Thompson was joined by Ray Smarsh (2,075), Dan Dunleavy (2,070), Shannon Sellens (2,064) and Alex Cavagnaro (1,997). Thomsen and Smarsh shot 1,348 in doubles, just missing the top 10, and Dunleavy, Sellens and Smarsh all could've made runs at the Regular All- Events lead (2,169) with big singles sets. Their excitement at the NBS this year wasn't limited to doubles and singles, though. In their final game of team, the group was on the verge of history. They entered the 10th frame with a mathematical chance at a 1,330 game, but no one was able to strike, leaving them with 1,221, just shy of the single-game record of 1,281, shot by Turbo 2-N-1 Grips of Madison, Wis., on the way to the Regular Team title in 2011. "Before the last game of team, we briefly talked about shooting 1,200, but started with two opens, so it wasn't looking too good," said Thomsen, who made his 14th USBC Open Championships appearance and helped HornswogglerS into sixth place in Regular Team with 3,371. "Then we threw 18 strikes in a row. Striking was contagious. Even though we didn't get there, everyone felt good. We know we left a lot of pins out there, but we had good momentum coming into today."

AT FARMINGDALE LANESUSBC WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIPS KICKS OFF IN RENO By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
RENO, Nev. - The 2013 United
States Bowling Congress
Women's Championships got
underway at the newly-trans-
formed Reno-Sparks Convention
Center as the first of more than
4,200 teams took the lanes last
week.
The 94th edition of the world's
largest participatory sporting
event for women made its record
eighth trip to Reno as bowling
fans and local dignitaries cheered
on the opening squad that featured
30 teams. It's the first time the
USBC Women's Championships
has been held at the RSCC and the
first time a bowling event has been
held at the venue since the 1990
USBC Open Championships.
The 81-day event, which will
conclude July 1, kicked off with a
ribbon cutting featuring USBC
Executive Director Stu Upson,
USBC Board Member Marci
Williams and Reno-Sparks
Convention and Visitors Authority
Board Chairman and Washoe
County Commissioner for District
2 David Humke, the ceremonial
first ball and the traditional Mass
Ball Shot.
Paulette Moore of Pasadena,
Calif., was chosen to roll the cere-
monial first ball, and the right-
hander knocked down nine pins to
mark the official start of the 2013
event.
"Everybody was looking at me,
and I didn't want to throw it in the
gutter," said Moore, who made her
ninth Women's Championships
appearance. "I just went out there
and released it. I had a good time
and enjoyed myself."
The RSCC was transformed
from an empty room into a 44-lane
state-of-the-art facility in approxi-
mately eight weeks. The conven-
tion-center setting, which debuted
at the Women's Championships at
the 2010 event in El Paso, Texas,
features the world's largest mobile
scoreboard and a unique vendor
area with shops, concession area
and pro shop.
Carolynn Mikkelson of Sparks,
Nev., looks forward to the start of
the Women's Championships
every year and has participated in
the opening-day festivities for the
past several years.
"We really enjoy bowling on
opening night," Mikkelson said.
"We've been doing it for a while
now, and it's enjoyable. You have
the entertainment, and it's nice.
The convention-center setting is
getting even nicer."
With both the Open and
Women's Championships visiting
the same host city in the same year
for the first time, more than
75,000 bowlers will make their
way to the Biggest Little City in
the World, and the city is expected
to see an economic impact of more
than $150 million. The Open
Championships, which is taking
place at the National Bowling
Stadium this year, began its 125-
day run March 1 and will conclude
July 7.
"Today, our female bowlers took
center stage in Reno," said USBC
Managing Director of
Tournaments Brian Lewis. "Our
Women's Championships com-
petitors have a fantastic facility for
this year's tournament, and our
staff, along with the city of Reno,
is excited to begin welcoming
each and every one of them."
