Xavier sophomore Tara Trcka has qualified for Thursday's Class 1A bowling meet, and the Linn-Mar girls have qualified as an at-large team for Class 2A meet Friday.

Trcka shot a 388 in Saturday's regional tournament at May City Lane. Her name was not on the list when the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union released the names of qualifiers Saturday night, although her 388 was better than several of the scores that had been reported as at-large qualifiers. By Sunday, she was on the list.

Trcka is one of 16 qualifiers for the individual championship.  Hope Seyb of Keokuk had the top score in regionals with a 490.

Trcka's cousin, Allie Trcka of Cedar Rapids Jefferson, qualified for the Class 2A individual championship.

Linn-Mar finished third at the Class 2A regional at May City Bowl on Saturday. But both at-large teams to fill out the 10-team tournament field came from that regional. The Lions join regional champ Jefferson and second-place Muscatine in the 2A field.

Jefferson's score of 2983 was the highest recorded in the state during regionals. Muscatine had the second-highest score at 2956 and Linn-Mar's 2727 was fourth. Kennedy also is in the field after winning the Marshalltown regional. The Cougars' 2640 was the sixth-best score.

The Linn-Mar boys were the only Metro team to qualify for the Class 2A meet. Sophomore Dreyson Robe will compete for the individual title after shooting a 506, the third-best qualifying score in the state.
