ARLINGTON, TEXAS (WTVB) – Sandra Jo Shiery of Coldwater has been elected to the United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame.
The web site www.bowl.com reports Shiery fell short of reaching the required 70 percent of the votes cast but the USBC Hall of Fame Committee had the opportunity to select her for induction.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 USBC Hall of Fame inductees would be honored in person during the 2022 USBC Convention.
Shiery is a nine-time Professional Women’s Bowling Association Tour champion, which includes one major victory at the 1997 USBC Queens Tournament.
Prior to embarking on her successful professional career, Shiery spent a year on Team USA.
In 1987, she had the opportunity to represent the United States at the International Bowling Federation World Championships, where she earned gold medals in team and all-events and a bronze medal in trios.
After her pro career ended, Shiery coached the Coldwater High School girls bowling team, which she helped to three consecutive state championships from 2005-2007.
Her son, Alec Keplinger, was a Junior Gold Championships winner in 2019 and is a member of Junior Team USA for the second consecutive year.
