Longwood’s Katelyn Wheeler Bowls Another 300 Game

At  the Suffolk County singles/doubles bowling tournament, Longwood senior, Katelyn Wheeler, bowled her SECOND 300 game of the season.

She is the first female bowler in Longwood history to roll a perfect 300 in a match and is believed to be the first female from Longwood to accomplish this twice as well. This is a feat that has not been achieved in Suffolk County girls bowling since the 2016-2017 season.

Wheeler is a returning All-County and All-Long Island bowler for the Lions and was named one of Newsday’s Top 25 girls bowlers for the second year in a row.
