Summer Tour Schedule Conflict
Due to recent announcement of PBA and PWBA Tour schedules, EJ Tackett, Diandra Asbaty, Lindsay Boomershine and Liz Johnson will be unable to attend our event. They’re all very bummed not to be able to participate in the Collegiate Expo. We’re pleased to announce PWBA Hall of Famer Wendy Macpherson and USBC Hall of Famer Lucy Sandelin will be stepping in as new featured coaches this year. Their complete bios are noted below. These ladies are true blue professionals with tremendous talent and lots of great insights to share with our young athletes. It’s a very special privilege to have them join our team this year.
