Elliot Holt of Andover has only been bowling at a high school level for a little over a year, and has been preparing for junior year all offseason.
“I have definitely been working extra hard for this year to be good,” Holt said. “I have been really working on improving my spare game since spares are so significant. I also have been working on staying consistent through transition games because those can be the greatest struggle for bowlers.”
After a state run last season, Holt focused on increasing her strengths to help her get back again this year.
“My goals for this season are to increase my average and stay consistent,” Holt said. “I also hope to qualify for state again, but I would love it if some of my team could qualify with me as well. Qualifying individually was super cool, but it was tough not having my team behind me.”
Holt doesn’t know for sure what her future concludes, but she hopes to make the most of wherever it might take her.
“I don’t really have any future plans set in stone because I tend to be the type that goes wherever life takes me, but I will probably need to figure that out soon,” Holt said. “I hope to bowl in college but most likely I will pick based on the education I want rather than bowling. Career wise, my interests are on opposite sides of the spectrum. I really enjoy chemistry, law interests me a ton, but I also feel like I would really enjoy working a ranch.”
