Statesmen Sweep Top League Honors
Oskaloosa–The William Penn men’s bowling team took all of the hardware as the all-Heart of America Athletic Conference teams were announced last Sunday.
The trio of Jayson Miner (Sr., Silvis, Ill., Business Management), Conor Fetherston (Fr., Dublin, Ireland, Software Engineering), and Jared Smith (Jr., Oskaloosa, Iowa, General Accounting) all garnered first-team recognition (five players total). An additional five individuals were named to the second squad.
Miner, who is now a four-time first-team honoree, was also selected as the Heart Bowler of the Year. He is the program’s sixth winner of the POY award.
Fetherston and Smith are both first-time recipients.
Fetherston earned the league’s Newcomer of the Year laurel, becoming the second Statesmen bowler ever to collect the accolade.
Head Coach Cameron Foster was tabbed as Heart Coach of the Year by his peers. It is his second award in as many years since taking over the program.
The crew led WPU to the Heart Championship title last weekend. William Penn has notched five top-10 finishes this season.
Miner currently owns a 207.8 pin average in 48 games. The senior, who has a high game of 256, has placed in the top 10 twice and in the top 25 once.
Fetherston enters postseason action with a 200.2 clip over 44 games. He has a high game of 257.
Smith, whose high game is 253, is also averaging over 200 at 200.3 (35 games).
