The Waukon bowling teams had the bittersweet result of having their season ended for a majority of this season’s team members while also being able to celebrate a bit of history for the program Tuesday, February 15 at their Class 1A State Qualifying Tournament being hosted by Dubuque Wahlert High School at Cherry Lanes in Dubuque. Team champions and the top four individual finishers earned qualification for this year’s season grand finale, and although each team finished shy of that required championship finish, the Waukon bowling boys had two individuals place within the top-four individual finishers to earn their way to this season’s Class 1A State Tournament.
