Florida bowler connects for 300 in team at 2024 USBC Women’s Championships
May 28, 2024
RENO, Nev. – Presley Gissendanner of Wesley Chapel, Florida, pressed hard and completed a perfect game to start her appearance at the 2024 United States Bowling Congress Women’s Championships on Monday at the National Bowling Stadium.
Her performance marked the fifth overall 300 bowled at the tournament this year, and the record for the most 300s at the USBC Women’s Championships is seven, which occurred last year in Las Vegas at the South Point Bowling Plaza.
Gissendanner was great from start to finish during her team event, finishing with a 771 series for her team – BABs of Bradenton, Florida. The group moved into the top 15 of Diamond Team with a 2,571 total.
She fired the 300 in Game 1 and followed it up in Game 2 with a score of 238. In Game 3, she rolled a solid 233.
Gissendanner was calm, cool and collected throughout the first game.
“I just needed to breathe and make a good shot in my final frame,” Gissendanner said. “Basically, I tried not to lose it a little bit and just wanted to take a step back and take my time.”
She was glad she bowled the perfect game, and it was an overall gutsy and strong performance.
“There’s a little bit of relief, because it has been a long time coming,” Gissendanner said. “I have been pretty close for a few years now and battled a lot of things medically with car accidents and things like that.”
Gissendanner was gleeful after the 300, where she was surrounded by her teammates and friends.
“I am excited to finally get it, and it was great to do it in front of the ladies that I love hanging out with,” Gissendanner said. “I like bowling with them and having them support me throughout.
“It’s a pretty neat experience, so I’m excited to celebrate with them tonight.”
Gissendanner loves competing at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno and has been bowling at the Women’s Championships for four years.
“Yeah, I love the Stadium,” Gissendanner said. “It’s very iconic and a great place to host the tournament at.”
On Tuesday, Gissendanner returned to the NBS and rolled sets of 720 in singles and 611 in doubles for a 2,102 all-events total, which places her sixth in the Diamond Division.
