In a match against Penfield on December 11, Hilton Cadets bowler Elena Carr threw an 831 series after games of 265, 300 and 266, setting a national high school record. The 300 was the first perfect game of the 14 year old’s career. The old record was 826, set in 2007 by a young woman in Illinois.
Elena said she didn’t even know about the record until after the final frame when family and teammates told her. Even then, she didn’t believe them.
“The whole day I was throwing the same shot and I realized that I was locked in,” said Elena. “It was an amazing feeling.”
Elena said she wants to continue to improve her game and go as far as she can contributing to her team.
Hilton won their match 8-0. The team is coached by Jordan Roethel.
