Mount Mercy Academy's Varsity Bowling team finished the season in third place with a record of 36 wins and 20 losses. They also finished the season with the second highest pin total in Monsignor Martin League play.

The team was led by four year veteran and captain Susan Thomas, who was also named first team All Catholic with a 150 average. Second team All Catholic honors were earned by Kelly Thomas, who had a 145 average.  Also making significant contributions to the team were Abby Zdrojewski, Val Boeck, and Liz Acevedo.

The Junior Varsity team finished the season 26-30. With the exception of captain Angelica Miller, the team consisted of newcomers Rachael Howard, Sheryl Little, Emmaline Robinson, Claire Termini, Micaela Michnik, and Destiny Overton.

Senior Rachael Howard led the team with a 113 average. Coach Fred Kirisits is anticipating another strong showing next year, since each team will be losing only one Senior bowler.

 

"Mount Mercy has positively changed my life forever. Through the inviting community, I was able to grow as a woman, as a daughter, as a friend, and as a member of society. Throughout my time here I have gained an education in both academic areas and life in general through the school's ongoing efforts to educate students on gender inequality, racial injustice, and environmental crisis'. Furthermore, Mercy has given me the space to gain confidence that 4 years ago I never would have guessed I would have. Mount Mercy has helped me take that initial step toward becoming the strong woman of color I am today. At Mercy you are more than just a student, you are whoever you wish to be."

"My future, success, and the ability to be an empowered woman in society come from Mount Mercy. My school is a strong foundation for my role in life. From attending Mount Mercy, I can say with confidence, that I will graduate with the mindset that I can accomplish anything. Mercy is my home and my sanctuary to be whoever I want. Mount Mercy has been bringing forth generations of strong intellectual women into the world, and I am more than honored to be one of them. Mercy teaches girls more than academics, but also about the world around us. As a mercy community, we give back to the world because it is our home. From my four years at Mercy, I have been educated on pushing for equality and peace and the understanding that there is no limit to what I can do. I have the confidence to go out in the world and make a difference because being a Mercy girl has given me that opportunity. "

"Mercy is more than just a school. Mercy is my second home and a shoulder to lean on. Mount Mercy has given me the confidence and resources to pursue my passions and make the world a more inclusive place, propelling me to take strides into male-dominated fields. Mercy blessed me with an environment to grow intellectually and in the community, giving me the foundation to make a tangible impact while making lifelong friendships."
