welcome to the mjbt – Where the biggest and brightest youth athletes come to compete…so what are you waiting for?

The MJBT returned to Garden Center Lanes in Alexandria, MN for the Year End event of the 2019-20 season. 32 boys and 17 girls came out to compete and to test their skills on a custom designed lane pattern for the MJBT.

On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Hailey Triske for winning her FIRST MJBT TITLE! It was a family affair as Hailey, our #4 seed for the step ladder, had to take on the #1 seeded, and her older sister, Hannah Triske. This was a back and forth match, with some nerves showing at times. However, Hailey showed some grit by converting the 3-6-10 in the 10th to lockup her first title.

For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Ryan Kyllonen for claiming the #1 seed for the stepladder and holding off a charging Cody Larson, and winning the title. The boys title match had the #3 seed, Cody, who was marching his way through the stepladder. Again, it was a tight match, as it came down to the 10th frame, where Cody struck in the 9th that forced Ryan to get strikes in the 9th and 10th to shut out Cody. Ryan got just enough, as he went strike, strike, 9-0, to claim the title 225-224.

Thank you to Garden Center Lanes, for hosting the July event. A special thank you to the Alexandria USBC Association for their generous donation of $1,200 to help fund the prize list of the non-qualifier sweeper that was held on Sunday.
