(Peru, Neb.) – Getting an opportunity to compete against some of the best bowling teams in the NAIA and NCAA DII levels is important for any new competitive team.

The Peru State men's bowling team did just that this past Saturday as they competed in the Hoosier Classic II in Indianapolis against many other teams from the Midwest.

The Bobcats finished 34^th, but were just 85 pins out of 33^rd while rolling 25 Baker-format games. In this style of tournament, five different bowlers bowl two frames in each respective game.

Peru State started with a 172 and had a high game of 202 in their 15^th game.

Bowling for the 'Cats were Alexander Chmelka (Lincoln), Alexxander Uecker (Hastings), Austin Guhde-Egger (Auburn), Gavin Maas (Shenandoah, Iowa), Mason Clobes (Seward), and Michael Anderson (Cairo).
