Sixty-one bowlers competed in the Upper Peninsula girls singles competition Saturday in Menominee, including eight from the Iron Mountain team.

Two Mountaineers advanced to the final eight in a match play championship, which was won by Ishpeming-Negaunee senior Sara Harvey.

Every girl bowled three games and the field was cut to the top 36. Those girls then bowled another three games with the top 16 moving on to match play.
