Kaylee Laha first got involved in the sport of bowling after some encouragement from her sister. Now a junior at Goddard High School, Laha is not only one of the top bowlers in her class, she is helping some of the younger bowlers with their game as well.
“Kaylee is the team leader of the girl’s squad. In bowling in general, there is usually more of a gap in talent and experience between the top girls and the lower level on the girl’s side than there is on the boy’s side. We are no different. Purely on her own, Kaylee works with our first-year bowlers to help them with technique and answering questions to the point that she is almost a de-facto assistant coach,” said coach Rehse.
Laha said bowling is her only sport and she loves being around her teammates.
“One thing that I enjoyed most was the people around me. I’ve made great friends while being in it,” said Laha. “I tell them to start out small. Make a small goal and work towards it. The mental approach is to relax and have a cool head. Focus on what you are doing.”
Her future plans include bowling in college and majoring in education.
