RUDIBAUGH CAN ROLL IT
EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- East Liverpool’s early-dawning bowling prodigy, Addison Rudibaugh, has undeniably etched her name into the lanes across Ohio. Joining the elite ranks as a third-year state qualifier, Addison manifested her bowling prowess by seizing second place in this year’s prestigious state championship with a striking score of 668.
Throughout the recent episode of the YSN Podcast, hosts DJ Yokley and Anthony Hartwig explored Addison’s remarkable journey. Reflecting on what has been a “dream come true,” Addison acknowledged her long-held aspiration to reach states, which she has now actualized for three consecutive years. “Ever since I was little, I always wanted to go to states for bowling in high school,” she shared enthusiastically.
Rudibaugh’s journey from feeling the initial nerves as a sophomore at her first state appearance to confidently approaching her third showcase exemplifies a mental maturity well beyond her years. She credits maintaining a positive mindset and the powerful motivation provided by her father as key components in her successful performances.
Interestingly, the roots of Addison’s passion trace back to her family’s legacy at their local bowling alley. Beginning to bowl since she “could walk,” Addison not only developed her skills on the family-owned lanes but also nurtured connections that have spanned across multiple states, embracing the communal aspect of the sport she cherishes.
Beyond her high school achievements, Addison eagerly outlines aspirations such as joining the PWBA, exploring coaching opportunities, and potentially advancing to the PBA regionals. She is steadfast in her commitment to cultivating young talent, intending to inspire the next generation of bowlers in East Liverpool.
