Derek Hartnell is Winning Bidder for Chris Barnes Challenge
Derek Hartnell ended up being the highest bidder for the Chris Barnes Challenge, which will take place this weekend on Saturday, December 13, at 3:00. Hartnell’s winning bid was $1600, well short of the $5000 that Barnes was willing to put on the table. The Chris Barnes challenge came after the PBA announced the All-In Action Sweeper. Chris Barnes was the only bowler to put up the $5000 entry fee. Barnes started this challenge this week, putting his own $5000 on the table, saying he’ll take on whoever is willing to put up the most money, up to $5000. There were a few bids earlier this week, one being Mika Koivuniemi with $1500. Derek Hartnell ended up beating Mika’s bid with $1600. Hartnell is a current collegiate bowler for Newman University. He is a 1st team All-American. This should be a good match, as Barnes was a successful collegiate bowler at Wichita State University. The two Wichita area bowlers will face each other on Saturday and the match will be aired on Xtra Frame. The Chris Barnes Challenge is being sponsored by Columbia 300. Good luck to both bowlers!
