Aug. 16—Gleason Garske walked into Lilac Lanes, put on his bowling shoes and threw a couple warmups.
Moments later, Garske had thrown eight strikes in a row, threatening another perfect 300 game.
But he left the 7 pin standing on his ninth toss, ultimately settling for a 278. His 22nd 300 will have to wait.
The 12-year-old Garske is on an upward trajectory in the sport, and he's coming off his biggest feat to date. He won the U12 Junior Gold national championship in mid-July in Minneapolis.
Garske dominated the field at the national tournament, earning the top seed by advancing to the stepladder finals undefeated. He remained unbeaten going into the final match, meaning he had to be beaten twice to be surpassed.

Newcastle were forced into a change of shirts during the first half of their pre-season friendly against Bayer Leverkusen at St James' Park on Saturday.
The English Premier League side walked out in their traditional black and white home kit, which has a blue trim, but decided to switch during the first hydration break.
This was because of an apparent colour clash with Bayer Leverkusen's away kit -- mint with a blue pattern -- with Newcastle players putting on their lilac third strip instead.
"I was a bit surprised when they (Leverkusen) came out for kick-off," Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle told the BBC.
"(The change) was done because (the shirt colour) was so close to each other so it was smart to use the first hydration beak to change it.

Madonna brought her A-game to her FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show performance. She stepped out in Saint Laurent micro shorts that rode up her thighs. The "Like a Prayer" hitmaker delivered a look that was the perfect blend of athleisure and glamor.
Madonna once again proved why she remains one of the most revered showgirls to date, thanks to her incredible fashion sense. She donned several custom pieces from Saint Laurent, including a pair of silk mini shorts featuring dark purple accents. The shorts had an elasticated waistband and flared hem that hit her upper thighs. A row of crystals lined the shorts' hems on both legs.
The "Like a Virgin" hitmaker sported a structured lilac corset complete with side buckle details and lace panels over a Glenn Martens' Diesel lurex jersey zip top. The corset cinched her waist, highlighting her curves. She layered all of it with a custom Saint Laurent jacket featuring dark burgundy contrasts and shimmering crystal trim along the seams.
Further, adding a distinct football-inspired flair to the outfit, the back of the jacket was emblazoned with "MADONNA 10" in bold, crystal-embellished lettering. The lower half of her look comprised an array of high-octane footwear and legwear details. She was wearing fishnet tights and lace-trimmed thigh-high stockings. On one leg, she also sported a bright pink knee sleeve embellished with a glittering crystal star patch. Finally, she wore metallic leather Danceteria lace-up boots.
On her hands, Madonna sported a pair of custom fingerless gloves resembling traditional goalkeeper ones. Swarovski crystals adorned the gloves. She also had a bespoke crystal referee whistle hanging around her neck, which was a more literal nod to the sport. Further, Madonna accessorized with a Swarovski Millenia necklace. The crystals caught the stadium lights while she performed.

Cardi B wore a custom Windowsen bustier micro minidress with several cutouts and strings to a KATSEYE concert during the weekend. Celebrity photographer, freshmadeit, shared videos of the "Bodak Yellow" singer and her daughter, Kulture. The duo was wearing matching outfits to the concert.
Cardi B brought a high-octane, maximalist energy to the concert, donning a cutout bustier micro minidress. Rendered in a form-fitting fabric covered in a frenetic mix of colors, the dress featured graphic digital-collage elements and bold text motifs, including the word "UNLEASH." The bodice had a deconstructed, heavily panelled black underbust corset with exposed metal eyelets. Further, intricate lace-up detailing ran down the torso.
Above the corset, a plunging halter-style bra top was crisscrossed with a web of neon pink and lilac structural strings and asymmetrical cutouts. The voluminous, pleated bubble-hem micro skirt also featured the pink and black abstract print. Draped, heavy-duty metallic chains looped from the sides of the corset down onto the skirt. These pieces added a raw, industrial street-culture edge to the feminine bubblegum tone of her dress. The print also stretched into matching leggings, maintaining the color palette throughout her look.
Massive statement-making furry platform boots grounded the outfit. Dappled in pastel pink and mottled black, the footwear injected a playful, plush element into an otherwise sharp and aggressive design. Her beauty styling was just as dramatic, as it complemented her outfit. She sported a long, straight wig featuring a striking, multi-tonal dye job. It transitioned from electric neon green on one side to candy pink and soft lavender on the other.
Further, Cardi B's makeup featured an exaggerated, retro-winged eyeliner, sculpted brows, and a heavily lined nude-gloss lip. Long, pointed stiletto nails in a matching shade of neon green added the sharp finishing touches to her daytime festival glam.
