Lorna Pollock (2000)
Lorna Pollock was one of B.C.'s greatest female tenpinners of all
time. She set an all-time Victoria city mark with a three game
total of 634, becoming the first Victoria woman to register three
successive over 200 games. By 1969 Lorna was the BC women's
champion and placed third at the Canadian championships. She
retained her BC title in 1970 and was named BC's Tenpin Bowler of
the Year for 1974 - 75 and again in 1977. This same year she was
selected for Canada's team in the American zone championships in
Panama and with her exceptional rolling, Canada won a silver medal.
She was at it again in 1981, earning third best in Canada and being
named to the national team for another WBC American zone playoff.
Lorna's great skill aided Canada in winning the women's trio gold
medal and a bronze in the five-player team category at the
competition. She was inducted into the BC Bowling Hall of Fame and
was nominated as Victoria's Female Athlete of The Year on two
occasions.
