HENDERSON, Nev. - Team USA's

John Janawicz had a monumental

comeback in the final game to win the

men's singles gold medal in the open-

ing event of the 2012 Pan American

Bowling Confederation Adult

Championships.

Sitting 76 pins outside of first going

into the final game, Janawicz started

the sixth game with nine consecutive

strikes to earn the gold medal with

1,449 (241.5 average) at Sunset

Station's Strike Zone Bowling Center.

Venezuela's Alicia Marcano earned

the women's singles gold medal with

1,368.

Janawicz closed out the block with

a 278 game, leaving a 2 pin after

starting with nine strikes. The final-

game tally was just enough to give

him the gold by seven pins over

Mexico's Andre Fors, who finished

with a 299 game. Brazil's Marcelo

Suartz, who led going into the final

game, earned the bronze with 1,428

after closing with 181.

"I knew I needed a big game and

had to do something different, so I

moved in a little bit and changed my

grip pressure," said Janawicz, who

also won the PABCON men's sin-

gles title in 2007. "After two frames,

I knew the ball was doing the right

thing and at that point it was just

about getting it there."

The gold medal for Team USA

capped off a good start to the tourna-

ment for the U.S. men's team.

Marshall Kent finished fifth, Tommy

Jones ended up sixth, Bill O'Neill

took seventh, Steve Smith was

eighth and Patrick Allen was 13th.

On the women's side, Marcano

closed strong with games of 245 and

236 to claim the title. Team USA's

Shannon Pluhowsky earned the sil-

ver medal finishing with 1,353,

while Colombia's Paola Gomez

took the bronze with 1,340.

Marcano, who also won the PAB-

CON women's singles gold in 1997,

entered the 10th frame of the last

game needing a mark with good

count to win the gold and delivered a

perfect strike for the win.

"I won the gold medal in singles in

1997 and it feels good to be on the

podium again for Venezuela,"

Marcano said. "The bowlers now in

PABCON are even better than in

1997, so that makes me feel more

special."

Team USA's Liz Johnson finished

fifth, while Josie Earnest was seventh.

Stefanie Nation (11th), Diandra

Asbaty (13th) and Leanne

Hulsenberg (42nd) rounded out

thefinishers for Team USA.

and never looked back, firing a 546 game to surge into

the lead.

"Winning a gold medal never gets old, especially

when I am able to do it with one of

my best friends," O'Neill said. "The

key was our communication.

Between the two of us we know each

other's games so well and that was a

big advantage."

The Team USA men finished first,

second and fourth in the standings,

just missing out on a rare sweep of

the doubles medals, which last hap-

pened in 1974.

100 pins ahead of silver medalists Aseret Zetter and

Iliana Lomeli of Mexico. Samantha How and Caroline

Lagrange of Canada took the bronze.

"This is a big deal for Colombia," Restrepo said. "A

lot of our funding for our federation is based on us win-

ning medals, so this is very important for us."Team USA finished just off the podium with Josie

Earnest and Stefanie Nation ending up in a tie for fourth

place with teammates Diandra Asbaty and Leanne

Hulsenberg. Their 2,604 total was 43

pins away from bronze. Shannon
