Jackie Reed of Clearfield recently placed 3^rd in the USBC Senior Queens Tournament held in conjunction with the Women’s National USBC Tournament in Reno, NV. While bowling in the regular tournament consisting of 9 total games, Jackie entered the Senior Queens tournament. The Queens tournament started   April 25^th, with the field of 141 female bowlers from around the world, bowling 5 qualifying games. On April 26^th the entire field returns to bowl another 5 games with the top 50 returning on the 27^th for 5 more games. This narrowed the field to 31 plus last year’s champion, Sandra
Postma. The same evening, Jackie who was ranked 4^th overall, bowled 2 three game matches. The tournament is now a double elimination tournament. A win moves a bowler through the “Winners” bracket while a loss moves a bowler to the “Contenders” bracket. On the 28^th Jackie bowled 3 three game matches, taking her first loss on the third series to the eventual winner, Janine Primrose. She then had to meet Miller-Mackie in a 3 game series to either advance or go home the 3^rd place winner. In Jackie’s own words, Miller-Mackie “who beat me soundly” won that series. In a scenario almost unheard of outside of the Pro Tour Jackie bowled 42 games in 6 days averaging 198 during qualifying and 183 in match play.
