TEAM CHALLENGE II Champs
Baker Match Play Momentum
Carries Team past Talented Field

 Olympia Lanes IAA, comprised of several past champions, relied on
a veteran-like never say die approach to maintain their composure during a rocky start
that found the team in sxith place after the regular bowling segment of the IAA's second
team challenge qualifier of the season held at Hebron Lanes January 15, 2003. Led by
Greater Calumet Area Bowling Association's newest Hall of Fame member Mike Kozy, the team
dominated the field as the lane conditions toughened during the tens baker match play
portion to qualify second. And the momentum carried over into the championship round as
they rolled past the top-seeded and two-time champions, Kofoid's Pro Shop, to secure the
title.
Joining Kozy on the championship squad were Dave Bohlin, John Riffle, Timm Siebor, and
John Zuklin. For Siebor and Bohlin, this is their first taste of victory, while this is
Kozy's third, and Riffle and Zuklin's fourth team challenge title. The team now advances
to the Seminole, FL regional team challenge event, in hopes of advancing to the National
finals in November.
Kofoid's Pro Shop earned a spot in the Peoria, Il regional event with their second place
finish. The team was comprised of Mark Kofoid, Mike Kubacki, Scott Hansen, Rick Woloszyn,
and Bob Kammer Jr. Finishing third was the Hebron IAA entry, followed by Plaza Lanes Pro
Shop.
Tournament Director Mike Kraushaar, explained "For the first time in eight seasons,
we were able to add a second qualifier to meet the increasing demand for this event."
In all 32 teams participated in the two qualifiers this season, the first being December
15th.
