At state this year, she had three goals, of which two she accomplished. Emma surpassed her previous total pin count and finished in the top 30. The only goal she did not reach was having a 150-pin-pergame average but was just inches from picking that goal up too.

Among other accolades, Emma was picked as the WIAA athlete of the week for week 20.

While her high school bowling career is done, she has a sister named Dakota who will take up the mantle. Gregg has another daughter on junior varsity who will make the jump to varsity soon.

Gregg said the season ended great, and he is lucky to coach his daughters in this game.

“We kept meeting our goals and exceeding them,” he said. “It was fantastic, absolutely loved it.
