Varsity bowling coach Paul Travers describes Julia as her team’s biggest cheerleader.
“Julia has been named captain of the bowling team for exceptional focus and ability to bring the team together and focus on the task at hand. She is the team’s biggest cheerleader (next to Coach Travers and Erin Irvine). Julia also leads by example with her game. She is averaging 174 early on this season up from last year and pushing Vliet to a 3-0 start. She also bowled a team high 221 game thus far in what should be another successful season. ” – Coach Travers
