2022 JBT Las Vegas Main Event- Girls Scratch Singles

champion Katelyn Abigania

        Katelyn Abigania, San Diego CA, defeated Jennifer Loredo, Fresno CA, to win the girls scratch singles division of the 2022 JBT Las Vegas Main Event, hosted by the South Point Bowling Plaza and sponsored by the Brands of Brunswick, IAM Bowling, South Point, and the Junior Bowlers Tour.

        Abigania began her climb to the title by playing fellow Californian superstar Avery Domaguin for the third straight year in the finals, advancing to 2-1 in those showdowns.  Simultaneously, an all-Team USA battle saw Loredo beat Mabel Cummins.  Top seed Annalise O'Bryant then had a thriller with Abigania.  Katelyn struck in the tenth to escape from O'Bryant 201-192.  Meanwhile, Loredo, the 2020 Main Event champ, got by the defending champ, Vanessa Fuzie, to advance and play Katelyn for the title.

        Both talented bowlers struggled a bit on the very demanding pattern, but in the end it was Katelyn squeezing out a 180-161 to add the Main Event title to her already fantastic season.  She earned $1,800 for the win while Loredo added $1,200 for another excellent Main Event performance.
