As the bowling season begins, Salina Central’s ToriShuler has been putting in work to build confidence and sharpen her skills before the first competition arrives.
“I am practicing once or twice a week before the season starts so I can be more confident for when it actually does,” Shuler said. “Weaknesses I want to improve are adapting more easily to how different some lanes can be and making my release more consistent.”
With that preparation in mind, Shuler enters the year with a clear set of goals for both herself and her teammates.
“Some goals I am focused on are improving my average, making it to regionals again, and having more of us go to state,” Shuler said.
Shuler has been excited to see the growth and the connections she builds throughout the season.
“I am most excited about seeing how far we will get as a team, seeing how much I have improved, and I am looking forward to how much fun I will have with everybody,” Shuler said.
There are also a couple of matchups Shuler is eager to revisit and hopes to walk away with a win.
“I am excited to take on Salina South and Andover again,” Shuler said. “I was so amazed watching both teams when they played and I am looking forward to it.”
Shuler has aspirations to further her passions outside of high school.
“My future plan is to go to a welding school and make a career out of it,” Shuler said.
