Brady Longnecker of Wichita Trinity was chosen as the JOMA Bowler of the Month for April. Longnecker was one of the top bowlers in the area this season.

Longnecker finished second at regionals, bowling a 699 series. That was an improvement from last season when Longnecker finished seventh. “This has been a very wonderful season including meeting a lot of my personal goals and improving from my freshman year,” Longnecker said. “I was able to shoot over 600 every meet this year, medaled at Great Plains, qualified not only individually for state, but ecstatic to make it as a team.”

Longnecker bowls year-round at Northrock Lanes with his mom, Karen, who is the Youth Director. “My mental game was probably one of the most notable differences this year compared to my freshman year,” he said.

Not only is Longnecker involved in bowling at Trinity, but also he sings in the concert choir, which he really enjoys.

While he still has two years of high school left, Longnecker already has an idea as to what he wants to do in college. “At this moment, I am thinking about something with math, accounting or possibly a statistician,” Longnecker said. “My definite goal is to bowl in college, Newman University would be really cool.”
