Vandalia High School grad, reigning IHSA Girls 1A State Bowling Champion and current Lincoln Memorial University bowler Madison Ferguson kicked off her collegiate career on a very good foot, finishing 6th in the individual standings of the 2022 Colonial Classic hosted by Tulane University in Louisiana. Ferguson finished with a total of 1,034 for her 5 games played, with an average of 206.8. That finish was just 97 pins off the individual winner and 20 off of the top average. Ferguson was the top finisher for LMU and helped lead the Railsplitters to a 9th place team finish in the Classic.
Next up for the Railsplitters is the McKendree University Bearcat Roto Grip Open this Friday through Saturday that will bring Ferguson back to Illinois and to a very familiar location in St. Clair Bowl. Ferguson will also get to play fairly close to home in January when LMU competes in the Maryville University Columbia 300 Saints Invite in Valley Park, Missouri.
