Emma Hendrickson has accomplished 1 much in her 100 years on this earth. She has survived the two World Wars, seen 18 presidents take the White House and has become a grandmother to 18 grandchildren.

"I’m still here, ha-ha…”

Now she has added a new milestone 2 to her life, becoming the oldest competitor in the history of the United States Bowling 3 Congress Women’s Championships.

"I just love the game. As the saying goes: once a bowler 4, always a bowler.”

A pretty good bowler, too, with an average of 120——she still rolls a higher score than her age. This is her 50th consecutive 5 appearance in this tournament, and you can find her at the lanes back home in New Jersey 6 twice a week.

“I think her secret is that she’s always just active. Whether it’s just walking or bowling, and as long as I can remember, she’s always been bowling.”

And she’s going to continue. Though her eyesight has deteriorated 7 a bit, she's also signed up to bring her 10.5-pound ball to El Paso, Texas for next year’s tournament, where she plans to knock them down again.

"That’ll work.”

"Go, go, go, go!”

"I’m liking 8 it.”

"Woo…Yeah!”
