Michael Wambold, Bob Wiley, Tim Morley and Mimi Lucey newest members of Rochester NY USBC Hall of Fame

The Rochester NY USBC inducted Michael Wambold and Bob Wiley (Outstanding Achievement), Tim Morley (Veteran - Outstanding Achievement) and Mimi Lucey (Meritorious Service) into its Hall of Fame on Wednesday evening May 15 at Rick's Prime Rib House.

In addition, Jeff Kreiss received the Dedicated League Service Award and high school graduating seniors Audrey Thurley and Bradley Carr were honored with Youth Career Achievement Awards.

Outstanding Achievement selection Wambold owns a title that few in the association can claim, an American Bowling Congress Championship Tournament title (now referred to as the USBC Open Championships title). He earned his national “eagle” in the 1995 Doubles event with Scott Kruppenbacher. Wambold’s contribution was a 763 series in their 1486 winning total.

At last report, Wambold owned thirty-six 300 games, eight 800 sets (high of 824), and a high average of 233. He was a 3-time PBA Qualifier Tournament champion at Marcel’s Olympic Bowl, earning spots to bowl alongside the pros. He won the 2009 City Mixed Doubles with NYS and local HOFer Judy Koester, and has won two City Tournament Team titles, including the 2015 event at Bowl-A-Roll as part of the 3801 city record team score with Sarah’s Boys. Wambold still owns the city record for highest quadruplicate score of 236.

Wambold joins his mother, Alberta, in the Hall of Fame, one of only a few such local combinations.

Wiley, also an Outstanding Achievement inductee, got better with age. The right-hander turned 50 in 2009 and proceeded to win the Rochester Senior Masters in his first year of eligibility (2010). He also has a 2nd and 3rd place finish in that event. Wiley won the prestigious Super Bud Bowl in Oswego, NY in 2010. The event draws the top bowlers from the entire northeast US and Canada. He teamed with Dan Keenan to win the 2013 Lakeview Lanes Scratch Doubles and in 2016 Wiley captured the inaugural Bully Scratch Singles Tournament.

Wiley has a City Team title (1994) and was runner-up in the 2011 NYS Masters. Among his dozen 300 games is a Sport 300 at Clover Lanes in 2010. He has also rolled perfectos in the 1991 and 2005 NYS Championship Tournament Singles event. “Thunder God’s” high series is an 822 and his top average is 232.

Morley enters the Hall of Fame in the Veteran Outstanding Achievement category, although the amount that he has given back to the sport would easily qualify him for a Meritorious Service entry. The Webster resident was a City Tournament Team champion in 1995, scratch and handicap. He won a Gold Medal at the 2018 NYS Senior Games with Dave Miller.

Morley was on the one-time city record setting team (Lilac City Tournament) that rolled an 835 triples score in 1994 at Perry’s Bowling Center. His teammates were Art Werner and Jack Leathers. He has countless Top 5 finishes in the Mixed Doubles Championships, 700 Club Tournament, NYS Open Senior Championships and Rochester Senior Masters. He owns a career high average of 237, has seventeen 300 games and double-figure 800 series’ including a career best of 837, rolled in the 1997 Tournament of Champions at Maiden Lanes.

Morley currently serves on the association’s Board of Directors, has been a Tournament Chairman for numerous events and teams up with Kevin Martin certifying our local lane beds.

Rochester Youth Association Manager Lucey will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the Meritorious Service category for her many contributions to the local bowling community. The 47-year member first became a league officer in 1974, but her work with the youth bowling program in the area is what she is most well known for.

Lucey served on the Rochester Youth Board from 2005-2012 then became the Youth Association Manager, overseeing the numerous junior bowling activities including sanctioning, tournaments, scholarships and fundraising. One of her major contributions has been serving as Youth Travel League Director for the past ten seasons. She chairs both the annual Youth Awards Dinner and Youth Travel League Banquet. Lucey received the Service to Youth Award in 2014.

In 2003, Kreiss became the secretary-treasurer of the Monday Night Ferra’s League at Bowl-A-Roll Lanes. The Beechwood League from the former Clover Lanes merged with the Ferra’s League in 2016 and now boasts 140 regular bowlers and dozens of subs. The association office acknowledges that Kreiss is one of the most efficient secretaries when it comes to submitting membership cards and award applications.

The highly respected Kreiss formerly headed the Friday Nite Late League at Seneca Lanes (1995-97) and the Merry Hill League at AMF Empire Lanes (2002-08).

Association President Michael Callan thanked Nancy Starken, Pat Donaghue and the Hall of Fame Committee for their hard work organizing the event. Barry Vee, who will become the new President in August, did a fantastic job as emcee. Included was a trivia contest with the assistance of Hall of Famer Gina "Vanna" Redding. NY State USBC association manager Mike Pettinella of Batavia joined the head table and updated the attendees on state happenings. Also among the attendees was former proprietor and Hall of Famer Marcel Fournier, who now resides in Florida with his wife Lila. Marcel flew in to give the introductory speech for Tim Morley.
