Shocker senior bowler John Szczerbinski has been named to the 2010 U.S. National Bowling Team.

Wichita State alumna Emily Maier also was named to the team.

Both are former Junior Team USA members and collegiate All-Americans.

Team USA consists of 10 men and 10 women. Committees select five men from the PBA Tour and five women that consist of a pool of former Team USA members and professional players.

Other than the five selected, all other bowlers must have competed in the Team USA Trials.

The top three finishers in each division earned automatic berths, while two at-large selections were made at the USBC Team USA Trials, which were held Dec. 14-18 in Las Vegas.
