A pair of Prince George bowlers put up a strong showing at the Youth Bowl Canada Nationals in Winnipeg.

Jacinda Trenholm and Kyra Thurston, representing Nechako Lanes, placed 4th out of eight teams in the Senior Girls 5-pin championship.

Over three days (May 4th to 6th), the pair bowled 21 games where they ended up with a two-person average score of 467.05, missing out on the bronze medal by one point.

Thurston averaged 242.33 and Trenholm 224.71 points per game.

Alyssa Birkby and Emily Dunn of Southern Ontario claimed the gold medal while the duo of Mikayla Sanderson and Gillian LaMonica from Alberta took the silver.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s Abby Tiller and Macy Priddle edged Trenholm and Thurston for the final spot on the podium.
