JACKSON, MI – The 2025 WHAC Bowling Championship at JAX60 Lanes tested the skill and endurance of teams across the conference, and the Aquinas Saints rose to the challenge. The Saints showcased their talent and determination throughout the competition, highlighted by the JV Men's team capturing the WHAC Championship title.
Aquinas JV Men's Team Claims WHAC Championship
The Aquinas JV Men's team delivered an impressive performance to secure the WHAC title in the best-of-five and best-of-seven bracket play. In the championship round, the Saints faced tough competition, but clutch bowling in high-pressure situations earned them the title.
Throughout the tournament, Aquinas demonstrated consistency and resilience, making key shots when it mattered most. Big games of 266, 242, and 243 pins helped push the Saints past their opponents and into the championship spotlight.
Varsity Teams Compete Against Top WHAC Programs
The Aquinas Varsity Men's team fought hard and advanced to the knockout rounds after making the tournament cut. However, their run came to an end in the first round of match play. Despite the early exit, the team displayed strong performances throughout the season and will now shift focus to sectionals.
The Aquinas Varsity Women's team faced a tough field and battled to stay in contention but ultimately missed the cut for match play. Though the championship title eluded them, the tournament served as a learning experience as they continue to build for the future.

Coach Klukowski's Take
Aquinas Head Coach Harold Klukowski reflected on his team's performance at the WHAC Championship and the strong season they put together. "Our JV men got the win in the reserve division. Varsity men made the cut but lost in the first round. Varsity women struggled a little and missed the cut. But all teams had a strong season. Now we prep for sectionals, where we will be in Allen Park, Michigan at Thunderbowl."
Looking Ahead
With the WHAC Championship in the books, the Saints will now turn their attention to sectionals in Allen Park, Michigan. The experience gained at the conference tournament will be valuable as the teams prepare to compete at the next level. Sectionals will run Saturday and Sunday, March 8 & 9.
