OKLAHOMA CITY (Dec. 19, 2021) – A third-place individual finish in one of collegiate bowling's deepest tournaments earned Oklahoma Christian's
Josh Imhoff recognition Sunday as the Eagle of the Week.
Imhoff, a junior from Cabot, Ark., who earned All-America first-team honors in 2020-21, made the all-tournament team in the Glenn Carlson Las Vegas Invitational. The Tier I event held Saturday and Sunday had a 42-team field that included many of the sport's top teams.
In his nine games, Imhoff posted a cumulative score of 1,996. He rolled a 200 or better in seven of his games, topped by a 268 in the last of his six games on Saturday. He was fourth at that point, then improved a spot in the 315-team field during his final three games on Sunday. He finished the tournament with a 246.
The all-tournament honor was the 11th of Imhoff's collegiate career at OC, but the first in a Tier I tournament. His success propelled the Eagles into the No. 7 seed in the match-play portion of the tournament.
