Kuhlkin Wins Gold in Trios at World Championships

Former Husker Liz Kuhlkin won gold as part of Team USA's Trios at the 2019 World Bowling Women's Championships at the South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas, Aug. 22-30.

Kuhlkin, who was the National Tenpin Coaches Association Bowler of the Year while leading Nebraska to the NCAA title as a senior in 2015, was the top bowler for the U.S. Trios. Kuhlkin rolled a finals-best individual score of 233 in the team's 655-632 win over Colombia. Her performance in the championship match followed an individual-best 235 in the U.S. Trios team's 669-628 victory over Mexico in the semifinals. Kuhlkin partnered with Jordan Richard and Missy Parkin on the U.S. Trios team.
 
Kuhlkin, a three-time first-team NTCA All-American as a Husker, was also one of six bowlers who helped Team USA to a bronze medal in the team competition at the World Championships.
