USBC Youth Open records first 800 series, perfect games

A record-setting performance by Tristan Musick highlighted the 2011 United States Bowling Congress Youth Open, which wrapped up competition on Sunday at South Point Bowling Center in Las Vegas.

Musick, of Olathe, Kan., who was competing in his first USBC Youth Open, had games 256, 248 and 299 for an 803 series during singles competition on July 8. It was the first 800 series rolled in the history of the USBC Youth Open, which started in 2007.

"I had never bowled an 800 series," Musick said, "and then I go and shoot one in a national tournament. It felt unbelievable!"

Musick, a 13-year-old left-hander who rolled his first certified 300 game on May 1, had a chance for a perfect game in his final game of the series but left a light 10 pin.

"My heart was racing knowing the fact that I needed to get 7 pins to shoot an 800 series," Musick said about the last ball. "But overall I felt pretty confident in myself."

Musick, who bowls at Mission Bowl 'N Olathe, started bowling with his mom in a youth/adult league when he was eight. In addition to the USBC Youth Open, he competed at the USBC Junior Gold Championships while in Las Vegas, and said it was "both challenging and exciting."

More than 2,000 USBC Youth members participated in the tournament that started July 8 and Musick wasn't the only one to roll the first honor score at the Youth Open.

Dan Reinke of New Ulm, Minn., had his first certified 300 game during team competition on July 14. It was the first perfect game in Youth Open history.

Two days later, Junior Team USA member Jacob Kent of Newark, N.Y., rolled a perfect game during team competition.

The USBC Youth Open is a non-qualifying tournament that is open to all USBC Youth members. Bowlers are placed in one of four divisions based on average, so they are matched according to skill, not age or gender. All scores are scratch. Bowlers roll nine games total - three games each of singles, doubles and four-player team. The combined scores from those events are the All-Events score.
