UPDATED JULY 11, 2021 – We have a new leader at the Pete!

The scoring pace had slowed down over the past several weekends, and Alan Blome (Racine, WI) was perhaps starting to feel a bit comfortable with his 1,597 score at the top of the Pete Singles standings. Well, that all changed today when another local bowler, Chad Kloss from West Allis, WI crushed Alan’s score by posting a 1,628, grabbing the lead by 31 pins.

Starting his set on lanes 11 & 12, Chad came out of the gate posting non-threatening scores of 184, 211, 168 and 170 for a 733 4-game total, a full -67 pins off of a 200 pace. The break after the fourth game must have done wonders as Chad rolled a 268 in game #5 and never was under 200 (209, 214, 204) for the remaining three games. He finished with an 895 for his final four games and an 8-game total of 1,628.

If Chad’s name sounds familiar, it should as he’s a past Pete Champion – he won the 97th Petersen Classic back in 2007 with a score of 1,657.

Are you ready to see if you can top Chad’s score? If you haven’t booked your spot yet for these year’s Pete, what are you waiting for?
