2010 Open Championships
concludes 136-day run in Reno
RENO, NV — When Matt
McNiel of Chanhassen, MN,
completed his nine games at
this year’s United States Bowling
Congress Open Championships,
he had no idea he’d just
posted the highest all-events
total in 107 years of tournament
history.
Now, the record-setting lefthander
can add eagle winner
to his growing resume as the
official Regular All-Events
champion at the 2010 event,
which ended its 136-day run at
the National Bowling Stadium
on July 5.
McNiel, 25, marked in 88 of
90 frames on the way to sets
of 806 in singles, 780 in team
and 740 in doubles for a 2,326
total. Ron Vokes of Racine, WI,
previously held the all-events
record with 2,321, which he
shot on the way to the title last
year in Las Vegas.
“I’ve been putting about 100
hits a day on the website to see
what’s going on, and it feels
so good to know it’s finally
in the books,” said McNiel,
who finished fifth in Regular
Singles. “I’ve been getting a
lot of congratulations on my
performance, and getting that
kind of respect from your
peers and people you look up
to is what makes it real. It’s
starting to sink in, and it feels
amazing.”
Less than two weeks after
McNiel’s performance, defending
Regular Singles champion
Bo Goergen of Midland, MI,
was in Reno to put his title
on the line. While he isn’t
the tournament’s first repeat
singles champion, he will
share the winning feeling he
experienced a year ago with
his teammates after helping

Sanford, MI, to the 2010 Team
All-Events crown with a 10,284
total.
Dan MacLelland of Saginaw,
MI, a two-time collegiate national
champion and two-time
National Collegiate Bowling
Coaches Association Most
Valuable Player, led the way for
Northern Lanes Pro Shop with
a 2,166 all-events total. He was
followed by Dale Hofmeister
(2,085), Goergen (2,031), J.R.
Raymond (2,026) and former
Team USA member Derwin
Pitre (1,976).
“This feels absolutely
fantastic, and to be able to
see my guys’ faces as they
get to experience what I did
last year has been amazing,”
said Goergen, a 50-year-old
right-hander who took home
the 2009 Regular Singles title
with a record-score of 862 and
helped his team to a third-place
Team All-Events finish. “We
work hard at our games and
do our best to excel, and to accomplish
something like this at
this level is really special. I am
excited for the team and really
proud of all the guys.”
This year’s Regular Singles
winner is Terrence Syring of
Bay City, MI, who put together
games of 276, 258 and 299 for
an 833 series on March 26 and
had the longest wait of all the
Regular Division champions.
“I was just waiting and hoping
that my score would hold
on,” said Syring, a 27-year-old
right-hander, whose previous-

high series on the championship
lanes was 689 in doubles
last year in Las Vegas. “I know
what it’s like to chase the score
on the leaderboard, but I’m
glad no one was able to catch
up to me. This is definitely
exciting.”
In Regular Doubles, 29-yearold
John Kreyer Jr. of Fridley,
MI, found his way back into
the spotlight and brought his
partner, Steve Bohn of Norwood,
MI, 40, with him as the
two left-handers combined for a
1,514 winning-total.
Kreyer, who rolled the first
300 of the 2007 USBC Open
Championships, also at the
Stadium, led this year’s doubles
surge with games of 258, 279
and 279 for an 816 series, while
Bohn contributed 248, 204 and
246 for 698.
“There were a few nail-biting
moments in there when
some great teams put up
serious numbers, so it feels
really good now that it’s over,”
Kreyer said. “It’s like a weight
has been lifted, and we are so
proud now that we’ve won.
We’ve had a really good year
overall, and the feeling is hard
to describe.”
Rounding things out in the
Regular Division is Bowlers
Edge Pro Shop of Neenah, WI,
which claimed the top spot
with a 3,408 total, the highest
team score in six visits to the
