Tristen Painter Captures $200.00 College Scholarship

Tristen Painter, 12-year-old son of Brigette and Nick Painter of Sulphur Springs, captured fifth place honors in the Pepsi Challenge Youth Scholarship tournament held in Austin recently, and in the process, was able to deposit an additional $200 into his growing college tuition fund. Tristen competed against 400 youth bowlers from around the state.

Painter, who is a sixth-grader student at Sulphur Springs Middle School, has perfected his bowling skills by watching his parents and grandparents, Jan and Billy Painter. Tristen has placed in a number of smaller tournaments in the area, but the Pepsi Challenge is the largest he has participated in to date.

To qualify for the tournament, he had to be a member of the Young American Bowling Association, (YABA) and have an established league average. He qualified through a youth league at a center in Greenville.
