Newly crowned Princess of the Lanes winner Jamie Vales hopes to follow in the footsteps of older sister Jerrie.
Jerrie, who is a former CNMI National Bowling Team member and a consistent fixture in women's bowling events on Saipan, is currently in her freshman year at the University of Guam where she is taking nursing.
Though she believes she has bigger shoes to fill, the younger Vales said she will take it slowly. “Following my sister's footsteps is always a challenge. Hopefully I will be as successful as her in the sport and win more titles in the future.”
The 16-year-old Jamie, who will turn 17 on March 17, began her quest of accomplishing her sister's past triumphs by emerging on top of a boys-dominated Prince/Princess of the Lanes.
Jamie said advancing into the stepladder finals was somewhat a challenge and surprise for her since she is expected to go up against two bowlers who are knocking down an average score like the one's in the King of the Lanes.
