RH: Duque Jimenez Joins Pipeline Of Talented Colombians At Wichita State

By Paul Suellentrop

Sara Duque Jimenez thrives on the responsibility inherent in bowling.

The bowler, the ball and the pins. No one to help. No one to blame.

"It's you – and nobody else matters," she said. "It's so calm and simple."

Duque Jimenez, a sophomore from Medellin, Colombia, serves as Wichita State's anchor bowler and ranks among the NCAA leaders in several statistical categories. No. 7 Wichita State starts its spring schedule on Friday at the Northeast Classic in New Castle, Delaware. The 33-team field includes 22 of the top 25 teams and all in the top 10 of the National Tenpin Coaches Association poll.
