A second-year member of the Kansas bowling team made history at the Jaybowl on Oct. 30 by bowling the first perfect game in 30 years at the site.
But it wasn't his first.
Buck Wash Harrison, Glenn Harrison, Frontenac junior, who has bowled competitively since he was a junior in high school, bowled the first perfect game of his life at the Kansas City Pro Bowl on Dec. 21, 1999.

"Bowling a perfect game is the greatest feeling you can have besides winning a national championship," he said.
because of his second 300 game, Harrison has been favoring the two lanes in which he bowled his perfect game. Although most of his goals remain team-oriented, he said he expected to have more perfect games in the future.
more perfect. "Once you have one perfect game, it eases you up for other ones," Harrison said.
Tom Partridge, Olathe senior and Kansas team captain, said he was not surprised Harrison was able to bowl a perfect game.
"I know he had one last year in Kansas City, but I didn't think a perfect game was possible at the Jaybowl," Partridge said. "Many people have come very close and missed that perfect game."
Partridge said several factors contributed to the difficult conditions of the Jaybowl. For example, the Jaybowl, unlike many other bowling alleys, oils the lanes by hand.
"At the Jaybowl, you have to work for everything." Partridge said.
Harrison transferred to Kansas after spending his freshman year at Pittsburg State, which does not have a bowling team. While at Pitt State, he decided he wanted to transfer to a school with a competitive bowling队。
"I visited three schools: Kansas, Southwest Missouri State and Wichita State," Harrison said. "And Kansas really welcomed me in."
Coach Michael Fine said he was happy for Harrison and his perfect game, and he had high expectations of Harrison as one of the team's leaders.
"Glenn has worked really hard this fall," Fine said. "There have been a lot of great bowlers, including three future pros, who never bowled a 300 in the Jaybowl league."
