Being able to balance tons of extracurriculars is tough, but McPherson high school senior Brooke Henry is doing just that and more.
Henry, who is an excellent bowler and has been in youth bowling since her freshman year, also does a lot outside of her sport.
“Brooke is an Eagle Scout. Brooke has a 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo. Brooke loves being outdoors and on the trap shooting team at McPherson High School. She is also in the National Honor Society and a good student,” head coach Jodie Cheek said.
To prepare for the upcoming season Henry has set goals for herself to make this season worthwhile.
“To make state and do really well and to strengthen my friendships that I have…I would also like to place individually at state and hopefully make it as a team as well. I would also like to increase my average,” Henry said.
Henry, being in her fourth year bowling for the Bullpups, has lots of experience and Cheek is happy with how she interacts with the underclassmen.
“Brooke loves bowling, wants to get better and makes every practice count. She is a great teammate. She is always willing to help the newbies and stays positive,” Henry said.
Last year Henry placed fourth at regionals and 16th at state and in her best game she scored a 216. Henry has a desire to continue to get better, that is why this year she is focusing heavily on improving her spare pickups.
