Jacqui Binam enjoys being the elder statesman of the Puyallup Vikings’ bowling team.

Binam, who has been on the varsity team for the past three years, is one of only two seniors for the Vikings this year.

“I’m trying to consistently stay in the 200s,” Binam said of her game. “I try to do that in our matches and in our practices. That’s the biggest thing I’m trying to do.”

The Vikings’ roster is filled with youthful bowlers.

“The key thing is keeping all of us working together and supporting each other,” Binam said. “We have a great team chemistry. We are confident in ourselves and play with a lot of spirit.

Being a senior, it’s fun for me to help out the younger bowlers, and they help me out, too.”

The Herald recently asked Binam a few questions about her life away from the lanes.
