The California State Queens was held August 15-16 at Yorba Linda Bowl in Orange County. Andrea Snyder, the left-hander from Pomona, dominated the entire weekend. She was the high qualifier in the Last Chance squad with scores of 190-236-247-290-208-290 (1461). Following right behind her in second was Caycee Landers with 210-248-269-235-225-242 (1429). Andrea also earned the high game bonus award for the Last Chance squad with two 290 games. 14 bowlers qualified directly into the finals from the Women’s Championships that were held at Yorba Linda Bowl and Forest Lanes. Bowlers used their six game Doubles/Singles scratch scores at Forest Lanes for their seeded positions. Paula Vidad from Crestline was top qualifier through the Championships with a score of 1,359 and teammate Laurie Soto was not far behind her in second with 1,320. The last person to make the cut was Chevonne Christian from Ontario with 1,199. The past two champions, Tennelle Milligan (2008) and Dede Davidson (2007) were not able to attend, so the two extra spots were filled from the Last Chance squad, completing the finals field of 30.

Andrea remained undefeated throughout the double-elimination finals and after 10 rounds of bowling, was crowned the Queen with Christy Asher from Costa Mesa as runner up. A special guest was in our crowd this weekend and so our 1975 past Queens Champion, Jean Worthy presented Andrea with her tiara, flowers and trophy. Along with the title, Andrea earns an entry into the 2010 USBC National Queens event ($300 entry) and an entry into the 2010 California State Queens to be held at Tyme to Bowl Lanes in Oroville. Andrea Snyder would like to thank Vance Sisk at Matter of Degrees Pro Shop in San Bernardino for drilling her equipment and supporting her through everything. She would also like thank her dad for his love and endless support… And last but not least, to Ben, her lucky charm, for his guidance, patience and unending support! In the finals, Caycee Landers earned the high game bonus award with 253 and there was tie for the high two-game series bonus award of 462 between Roberta Vann and Chrystelle Gallo.

The tournament staff and participants would like to extend special thanks to Jim Horning and his great staff at Yorba Linda Bowl. Entries will also be available for the 2010 Queens event in the fall.
