Long-time PBA Midwest Regional star Jeff Richgels, 48, Oregon, WI, has been
elected to the United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame in a newly-created
Outstanding USBC Performance category, which was created to recognize efforts by bowlers in USBC championship events. Richgels, who had previously appeared on USBC’s superior performance ballot nine times, is a 29-time PBA regional winner, a four-time USBC Open Championships titlist and the only player in the event’s history to bowl a 90 clean-frame all-events series.
The USBC Hall of Fame Committee also elected former Women’s International
Bowling Congress Executive Director Roseann Kuhn and four-time Professional
Women’s Bowling Association titlist Cheryl Robinson in the meritorious service
and veterans categories, respectively.
The superior performance candidates who will be considered by a national panel
of bowling industry leaders, veteran bowling writers and USBC Hall of Famers
include Del Ballard Jr., Keller, TX; David Husted, Milwaukie, OR; Amleto Monacelli, Barquisimeto, Venezuela; David Ozio, Beaumont, TX; Wayne Webb,
Columbus, OH; and Tom Baker, King, NC. The women's ballot has Dede
Davidson, Buellton, CA, and Carol Gianotti, Perth, Australia.
USBC’s 2011 Hall of Fame induction ceremonies will be held on July 1 in Grapevine, TX.
