Wyoming Woman Tops In National Bowling Competition
Congratulations to Paula Landis of Riverton, Wyoming for winning the 2024 United States Bowling Congress Women’s Championships.
Paula was tied for the lead after a string of strikes in the 2024 tournament.
Her strategy is to NOT watch the scores but to just bowl each frame well.
“I don’t pay attention to the scoreboard at all,” Landis said. “There’s less pressure not watching, especially when we come here to have fun.”
Paula hopes to share the title at the end of the 2024 event.
This is her 24th appearance at the Women’s Championships this year and her best performance yet.

There are videos to watch on their YouTube page.
“I am flabbergasted. I was not expecting that, and I didn’t even think I bowled that well,” Landis said.
“I’m just pretty happy. Singles and doubles were OK, but doubles was better than singles.
I was over average 99% of the time, so I was really happy.”
The Ruby Division features bowlers with entering averages of 156-175.
Participants earn their spots primarily through invitations based on their on-lane performances during the previous year.
Players also can earn their spot through a pre-tournament qualifier before the start of the tournament.
