NATIONAL NEWS “If I could have fallen to my knees, I would have.” That was Sean Beam’s initial thought after
rolling his 12th consecutive strike to earn his fi rst 300 game on May 18 at Cityview Lanes in Fort Worth, Texas. Confi ned to a wheelchair since birth, Beam became the fi rst freehand wheelchair bowler to throw a 300 game, according to the American Wheelchair Bowling Association. The 36-year-old mailroom supervisor, from Burelson, Texas, has been bowling for 22 years and holds a 190 average. “I’ve never let my chair keep me from doing what I want to do,” said Beam. “Wheelchair basketball guys will never be in the NBA, but you can compete with anyone in bowling.” Of his perfect accomplishment, Beam added, “Bowling a 300 game is something I never thought was possible, and I can’t explain what it feels like. I threw the last ball and I knew I had hit my mark. When it struck, I was overwhelmed.”
