At 100, Emma Hendrickson is on a roll.
Less than a month after celebrating birthday No. 100, the Morris Plains woman became the oldest competitor in the 90-plus-year history of the U.S. Bowling Congress Women’s Championships in Reno, Nev.
Hendrickson rolled 115, 97 and 106 for a 318 series in team competition that didn’t end until early Sunday at the National Bowling Stadium. Her average is 120.
“I love bowling because I get to be with people, and because I’m not at home sitting on a rocking chair,” she said. Because her eyesight has diminished over the years, Hendrickson relies on teammates to help her line up spare attempts. She already has signed up to compete in the 2010 event in El Paso, Texas.
