BIRMINGHAM– The UAB bowling team travels to Smyrna,Tenn. to compete at the Columbia 300 Music City Classic hosted by Vanderbilt. The three-day event runs March 5 through March 7.
"We are excited to end our regular season at Vanderbilt," said head coach Michelle Crews. "This is the best and strongest field of the year. With 20 teams in attendance and most of them are ranked, this will be a great way to see where we are before our postseason run begins in two weeks. We have been working very hard the last few weeks to show our fellow schools that UAB is still a contender. We will work hard to keep our momentum and chemistry going."
"It is surreal to think this time last year is when COVID changed everything for us. The Columbia 300 Music City Classic was our last event before the team departed campus for the year. We are so grateful to UAB and our administration for finding a way for us to have a season and for us to be safe while doing so."
In their last competition, the Blazers finished fourth at MEAC No. 2. Jamie Krasnigor led the way with a total pinfall of 947 to finish in 12th place and freshman Shauna Rodgers finished with a total pinfall of 913 to finish in 17th place. Samantha Johnson (890), Elise London (884) and Katie Hurley (723) placed 19th, 20th and 23rd, respectively, to finish the Blazers in the top 25 individually.
Last season in this competition, UAB recorded an 8-5 record to finish in 10th place out of 29 after facing seven ranked teams.
The team will begin the Columbia 300 Music City Classic with baker matches on Friday before competing in traditional matches on Saturday. The weekend concludes with best of seven baker matches on Sunday.
Competing this weekend will be Cayla Davidson, Jillian Hulsey, Katie Hurley, Samantha Johnson, Jamie Krasnigor, Haley Kvarnberg, Elise London and Shauna Rodgers.
