COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University bowling program had an outstanding Thursday outing at the Ohio Bowling Conference's third event of the season. Some highlights of the action were Caleb Kornosky winning the men's title, Jolene Powers placing runner-up in the women's standings, and the JV Women's team winning the JV division where Zoe Blickensderfer was third individually. 

The title for Kornosky marked the first individual victory in program history for either the men's or women's program at Capital. Powers' runner-up finish on the women's side marked the highest ever individual women's finish in program history as well. The JV women's team victory marked the second piece of hardware this season, but their first ever team victory. The team had previously finished runner-up at the DO Apparel/Brunswick Open back in September.

UP NEXT
Capital was originally scheduled to compete in two competitions this coming weekend in Louisville, Kentucky, but the event organizers canceled those events due to the impending winter weather expected this weekend. Thus, the Comets next trip to the lanes will be on February 7th for the OBC's fourth and final event of the season.
