“I just did the walking, putting on my boots every morning to hike. It’s
nothing like what our military does every day to protect our freedoms,”
he said. Kellerman battled through a bacterial leg infection, a dislocated
hip and a hyper-extended left knee to complete the world’s longest hik-
ing-only footpath. The 57-year-old also challenged others in the bowl-
ing community to take BVL support “to the next level” with their
fundraising efforts.
“David is as selfless as they come, always putting the spotlight on our
veterans and the important work that BVL does every day to brighten the
lives of veterans and active duty service members,” said LaSpina.
“David exemplifies the indefatigable spirit and dedication that Helen
Duval brought to everything she did for BVL and the bowling industry.
“The response to David’s Appalachian Trail hike has been tremendous,
as so many people have been inspired by the meaning behind his jour-
ney,” LaSpina added. “His focus has always been about putting veterans
first, and the best way to honor those efforts is by helping us double the
original goal and reach $100,000 by the end of the year.” To donate
online, visit Kilroy’s Hike page at BVL.org or Kilroy’s Appalachian
Trail Hike for Veterans Facebook page.
A member of both the USBC and PWBA Hall of Fame and a bowling
proprietor, Duval was a true pioneer in bowling and a tireless champion
for BVL until she passed away at the age of 94 in July 2010. On the
lanes, she won two pro titles during her career and captured Women's
International Bowling Congress (now USBC) Championships team
event and all-event titles. Off the lanes, Duval was one of bowling’s
greatest ambassadors, traveling the country to teach clinics, youth pro-
grams, and special needs bowlers. For more than two decades, she was
dedicated to BVL and veterans, visiting veterans’ hospitals throughout
the U.S. She was named as honorary co-chair of BVL in 1985, and in
2000 she received the Secretary's Award, the highest award given by the
Department of Veterans Affairs, for her unwavering commitment to
America's veterans.
Since 1942, BVL has provided more than $52 million in grants to VA
hospitals and clinics to fund recreation therapy and programs for
America’s veterans and active duty service members. BVL is bowling’s
oldest and own charity, a national nonprofit 501 (c) (3) charity that is
consistently acknowledged for efficient and effective programming
delivered with extremely low overhead. BVL has been recognized as
one of “America’s Best Charities” by Independent Charities of America,
earned a “Top-Rated” Nonprofit distinction from Great Nonprofits, and
is also a member of the Combined Federal Campaign (#93325).
BVL fundraising efforts and donations are generated year-round by the
bowling community through a wide range of events, many specifically
targeted around Veterans Day and BVL Month in America in November.
Throughout November, BVL partners with hundreds of bowling centers
to honor veterans and provide a way for communities to recognize their
local veterans. BVL provides a BVL Month in America kit to partici-
pating centers. To donate online and learn more about BVL’s commit-
ment to veterans, visit BVL.org.

US Swept Team Gold Medals at 2019 World Bowling Senior Championships
By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
LAS VEGAS - For the third consecutive time, the
United States swept the team gold medals at the World
Bowling Senior Championships.
The Senior Team USA women topped Australia, 2-0
(232-164, 236-180) in the best-of-three Baker final at
the South Point Bowling Plaza, and the men picked up
a 2-0 (215-168, 211-205) victory over Finland.
Led by all-events gold medalist Leanne Hulsenberg,
the Senior Team USA women
struck often and marked in all
but one frame during the
gold-medal match to hold off
the Australians, who only
threw six strikes during the
two games.
"I think the team gold is the
coolest because you get to
share it with your teammates,
but it also was the most
stressful because you never
want to let them down," said
Hulsenberg, who also won
doubles with left-hander Tish
Johnson. "In the Baker for-
mat, anything can happen.
We, and I mean I, had a little
trouble early on, and I was
really nervous. The others
were rock steady until I was
able to calm down. It definite-
ly was intense, but it was a lot
of fun, too."
Hulsenberg was joined in
the win by Johnson, Sharon Powers and Lucy Sandelin.
Johnson has been part of the team for all four editions
of the World Senior Championships, which first was
held in 2013 and is held every two years. Hulsenberg
was part of the win in 2017, and Sandelin was atop the
podium with Johnson in 2015. Powers, who had an out-
standing week at the 2018 Pan American Bowling
Confederation Senior Championships, made her debut
on the world stage.
Australia's roster included two-time QubicaAMF
Bowling World Cup champion Jeanette Baker, Heather
Robertson, Christine Clark and Mary Dodds.
On the way to the showdown with Australia, the
United States dropped its opening semifinal game to
Germany, 182-172, before rallying with wins of 214-
206 and 215-171. Australia's semifinal against Sweden
also went three games (167-181, 211-193, 223-195).
Germany and Sweden each received bronze medals.
The Senior Team USA men had a little shorter path to
the title, winning four consecutive games in the medal
round.
Anchor Parker Bohn III, a two-time participant at the
World Senior Championships, needed a mark in his
final frame to complete the sweep. He left the 6-9 com-
bination on his first shot and converted it for the win.
October 30 - November 5, 2019

ARLINGTON, Texas – The 2019 Bowling.com Youth
