The girl in the picture wearing black and gold with Angela is my awesome bowling partner Kari. She got a kidney from her wonderful mother that did the 40 shirts for Team Pittsburgh's bowlers. The shirts had a bowling pin on the back with a green ribbon around the pin. Thanks for sharing your pictures Angela. Mine didn't turn out very well.


They gave me a Bronze Medal that said swimming on it to wear to the closing ceremonies.

So basically no one gets to keep a medal or just a select few? If only a select few, that sucks! Either every participant gets one, or no one gets one to be fair.

Whoever wins a medal gets to keep it... you don't get a medal if you don't win Gold, Silver or Bronze in whatever event/division in that event your doing. Same as Olympics and so on.

Unfortunately they were 14 medals short for team bowling, so we didn't get to walk around wearing a medal to show we won, awww . We did get to walk up when they called our names and get medals put on us and so forth but after they took pictures we had to give them back because they just borrowed those medals for us to take pics.

So you do get one after all. That's good, but sounds like someone didn't do their math correctly when ordering medals from that statement.

They did order enough but the engraving was wrong on the back.

They did their math right, but changed the format to include more winners at the last moment (meaning after they already ordered the other amount of medals, and the other one's were still on their way), and that is why they came up short in only that event.

Me and my teammate got the correct one's from our manager's on Tueday night, but the other 2 people from our bronze team didn't get the correct one's yet.

I'm glad they included more people.

Me too, because at first it was just supposed to be "Female" with te highest score. And "Male" with the highest score... so only 2 people would of won medals out of each bowling event.
