SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  The Air Force Bowling Team finished first place in interservice play for the seventh consecutive year at the Armed Forces Bowling Championship held in early January at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.

The Air Force women finished first in division play as the Air Force men finished second in their division. 

Trish Rodgers from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, finished first overall in the women's division. Carol Becker from Offutt AFB, Neb., finished second and Pamela Matthews from Lackland AFB, Texas, finished fourth. All three are now fighting for a spot on the Team USA Bowling roster in Las Vegas. 

In the men's division, Martin Bedford from Bolling AFB, D.C., placed fifth overall. Tyler Seldon from Wright-Patterson AFB finished sixth, while Randy Lightsey from Shaw AFB, S.C., finished seventh. Todd Pallas from Ellsworth AFB, S.D., finished tenth.

"(The) bottom line is that the Air Force won the overall championship," said Chuck Hall, the team's head coach. "The individual awards are a bonus, but we represented the Air Force well."
