Rockford, Illinois, is recognized as the home of Wichita State superstar turned NBA pro Fred VanVleet. But the Rockford community is just as well recognized for its bowling community.
At least, that’s the way Nick Sommer, a freshman from Rockford, sees it.
Sommer is a freshman on the Shocker bowling team. Since he was a kid, Sommer’s passion has been bowling. Turn to his teen years and Sommer set out on a mission. He wanted to bowl for WSU.
“This was my goal for a really long time,” Sommer said.
It was greats like PBA player Chris Barnes and other legends from the program that led Sommer to pick WSU.
