After helping her team win the 4-1A state title last year, junior Cheyann Geesling is looking forward to seeing the growth of her team this year.
Buhler’s head coach Skip Wilson hopes that Geesling, an integral piece of Buhler’s success last year, will step up and take the new young bowlers under her wing this season.
“Cheyann’s game has taken a huge jump from last season and I’m excited to see how she performs this season,” Wilson said. “We are leaning on her.”
Geesling put in extra time this offseason bowling as well as building a relationship with her teammates.
“In the offseason I was involved in a league with some of my teammates as well as just going to the bowling alley and practicing,” Geesling said.
Geesling bowls not just for the personal success and accolades that come with it but for her love of the environment and the people around her.
“My coaches truly make this sport enjoyable which makes me excited for every season,” Geesling said. “As for my motivation this season, it comes from my teammates and coaches. I have motivation within myself but when I start to feel down they lift me back up and help me remember why I do bowling.”
During this season Geesling is hoping to improve each game and continually get her average up.
“I tend to average a score of 160 but that increases with every game and practice. My highest game so far is 183 as well as a series of 488,” Geesling said.
