Derek Hartnell Wins Chris Barnes Challenge
Derek Hartnell took on Chris Barnes in the Chris Barnes Challenge this afternoon. Hartnell is a collegiate bowler and All-American at Newman University. Newman University is located in Wichita, Kansas, the same city as college bowling rival Wichita State University, where Chris Barnes excelled as a collegiate bowler. Each bowler put down $1600 of their own money in the challenge. The Chris Barnes challenge came after Barnes was the only bowler to put down the $5000 entry fee to bowl in the All-In Sweeper. Barnes started the challenge to see if he could get someone to put down the money. Hartnell was the highest bidder at $1600.
Chris Barnes started out the 3-game series with games of 248 and 289 to take a 77-pin lead over Hartnell and his 232 and 229 games. Hartnell came back strong the third game with a 258 game to finish with a 719 series. Meanwhile, Barnes struggled and threw a few splits to finish with a 161 game and 698 series. By defeating Barnes, Hartnell won the $3200 pot.
Hartnell is having a successful year so far, finishing in the top 25 in all four of his college tournaments. He has finished in first in two of the four tournaments this year.
Congratulations to Derek and good luck to both bowlers throughout their seasons.
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!
