NY State Record !!!!
« on: March 03, 2004, 06:31:33 AM »
Awhile back I posted about a young impressive bowler, and there were some negative, almost jealous, responses. Well, here is an update:

Erik Westfield, a sophomore at Maryvale High School just set the NY State High School average record! 237.32

The old record, 236 was set by another Western NY'er, John Stobnicki in 1998. The old ECIC record of 226 was held by Ryan Ciminelli since 2002.

Erik's high series was a 785. Congrats to Erik on this accomplishment, and best of luck to him in the future. It has been a pleasure to watch him during tournaments, and the youth travel league this year.

Congrats to him.  Shows he can do it over the long haul.  I'm surprised he didn't have an 800 in there somwhere, considering it took over 700 just to get his average.

IS Maryvale competing in the NYS High School Bowling tournament, this weekend - March 7th - in Rochester?

I would love to see this kid bowl!

The number one bowler for Arlington - my son's school - averaged 212 this season - and I thought that was insane!  He had a high series of 795.

Maryvale did not win the sectionals this year, Southwestern will be the representative from Western NY.

Erik, I believe will be there for Individuals, along with two of my sons teamates, Jon McGinn (threw the only 300 at sectionals, and an incredible bowler) along with Pete Maduri.

No 800 for Erik in High School competition! So, yes, he was very consistent. He has several 8's and a couple of 300's in travel league however.

He almost quit bowling before this year, after winning last years State H.S. Tourney with Maryvale and teamate/brother Cody Westfield, where they set a team state record. If he stays with this, I would not be surprised to see him with another record or two.

Erik is not a very large built young man, in fact probably about 5'6" and 135lbs, if that. But a nice lad, and righty too....LMAO....sorry wrongsiders.

Not sure of Maryvale's schedule, different division than my son's High School which had 14 matches, or 42 games.
