Staff Report

CHARLES CITY — Both men and women have X chromosomes.

Maybe that’s why bowling is the one ball sport where both genders are relatively well-matched, even without handicap.

Shortly after Comet Bowl hosted the annual Charles City Men’s Bowling Tournament, which — by the way — had several women competitors, the house held a tournament for ladies only, which concluded late last month.

In a close singles event competition where the top four bowlers were separated by 8 pins, Emily Koenigsfeld won with a 649 series.

Judith Buchholtz was only 2 pins behind in second place. But when combining pinfalls from the team and doubles events, Buchholz — a National Bowling Tournament participant in 1991 — was the “All Events” champion with a nine-game total of 1,900.

Christina Nelson, who was second in “All Events,” and Beth Raveling, who placed fourth in singles, were the doubles champions with a combined score of 1,267. Ann Kabele and Linda Abben were second at 1,210.

In team event competition, the O’Reilly’s Auto Parts squad of Ramona Santee, Evelyn Schroeder, Carrie Elfers and Shelby Gerleman bested runner-up Theisen’s by a mark and a half (2,458 to 2,436) to emerge as tournament champion.
