Salina Area Girls Bowling Spotlight – Rylee Lambeth from Salina South (Presented by Advanced Physical Therapy)

By Matt Browning

While Salina South’s Rylee Lambeth would undoubtedly like to accomplish so much this bowling season, she also just wants to soak in the memories.

“I am excited to get the goals I have set but most of all, it being my last season, I am going to enjoy every little bit of it,” Lambeth said.

Lambeth worked on several things throughout the offseason and did so on her own, as well as playing in a variety of tournaments. Lambeth was the 2023 individual state champion, but finished just 18th last season. That has proven to be great deal of motivation.

“I am wanting to set a higher average,” Lambeth said. “I worked on a lot more drills in this off season and I went to a bunch of tournaments.”

Lambeth’s stats last season were some of the best in the state. She won five tournaments, finished in the top three in eight varsity tournaments and was first team all-league. She carried an average of 203, a 713 series and a 300 high game.

The Cougars took eighth as a team.

“Individually I would love to win state again,” Lambeth said. “As a team. getting farther than we did last year and helping each other, bringing each other up, and more.”
