TBA’s High Performance Committee has today announced the team to represent Australia at the 20th Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championships.
The team will compete in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia from April 17th to 26th at the 42 lane Megalanes Sarawak centre.
Chloe
Jones, Emma Stephens, Ivy Dickinson and Kylie Bailey have been selected
alongside Kyle Annetts, Callum Borck, William Clark and Trent Webber.
The
2018 National Ranking Youth winner and 2019 Youth Cup champion Chloe
Jones is set for her fifth year representing her country. Returning to
the same bowl in 2017 where Jones claimed a silver medal at the Asian
School Championships team event, Jones will be joined by silver medal
teammate Kylie Bailey. Ivy Dickinson joins the girl’s team in her first
for the Youth Division after a strong performance in the 2019 Youth
Team Challenge and claiming a silver medal in last year’s Asian School
doubles event. Emma Stephens makes her Australian debut after years of
consistent performances on the local circuit.
Callum Borck and
Trent Webber return to the Megalanes after making an appearance at the
2017 Asian School Championships. Borck claimed a silver medal in the
2017 doubles event and will be keen to add to his collection this year.
William Clark and Kyle Annetts join the team after promising
performances at home and at last year’s Asian School Championships.
2018
was a successful year for the Australian Youth team where they claimed a
silver and bronze medal at the World Youth Championships in Detroit,
Michigan. The team will again be coached by Youth National Training
Squad head coach Robert Alexander.
