For the second time this season, Catherine Willis has broken the high triple record for Hamilton women with a brilliant 795 at Burlington Bowl. An eight strike performance in game one gave her a 237. Then magic, as she fired her second ever perfect game in game two. Willis started game three with a double to run her string to 14 in a row. After a spare, six more strikes followed for an overall run of 20 strikes in 21 attempts and a 258 game and the record setting 795 triple. A stubborn seven pin in the last frame cost her the coveted 800 triple.

For the three games, Willis rolled 29 strikes and on six other occasions left up a single pin. Her first record was a 773 (279, 215, 279) last November which beat Sioban Frey's 771. Willis, who was the World Bowling Writers 1991 Bowler of the Year, scored her first 300 in 1994 at the World Cup Provincials in Vancouver. Four years ago she tripped a 299 at Burlington Bowl. Her sister Jennifer Park holds the Canadian high triple for women with 834 (279, 255, 300) in Nanaimo B.C. Catherine holds two Canadian records, averaging 235 each time for nine and 10 games in B.C. tournaments. Kerrie Ryan Ciach, wife of former Hamiltonian Joe Ciach, recently set a new high triple for Ontario women with 827 (289, 280, 258) in Toronto.

When David White rolled a 298 over three years ago, he was disappointed in missing the 300 score. Now at Skyway Lanes, all the pins fell on his final shot for the magic 300 and 710 (188, '300', 222) triple.

The next night at Skyway, Art Oliver Sr. started with 169 and 200, before throwing 12 in a row in the pocket, but the 10-pin stood up on number 12 for a 299 game and 668 triple. If that pin had fallen, he would have had the ninth 300 in the Westinghouse league joining Jim Kompare, Graham Hartley, Marty Stokes, Lionel Lewis Jr., Mike Anderer, Rob Gray, Wendell Harrison and his son Art Oliver Jr. as perfect Westinghouse bowlers.

Art Oliver Sr. has highest triple ever in the league at 781 with a 289 single. Seven years ago Art Oliver Sr. saw all the pins fall for a 300 at Hamilton Bowl. His son Art has eight perfect games. The only other 299s in the league were by Morgan Lynes and Rob Brookes while Steve Glanville dealt a 298 on the last game of the 1997-98 season.

The highest average belongs to Tim Enoksen at 215. In Hamilton Tenpin Trivia, Glanville went from a 97 game to a 250 while his father Bill went from a 257 to a 160. Three years later, Bill followed four open frames with eight strikes for a 216.
