Eliana Occhino



BIOGRAPHY

Hi, my name is Eliana! I am going into my senior year of high school and I live in central New York. Early on I was exposed to bowling through birthday parties and the occasional family trip to our local bowling center. After entering my first tournament in 2019, it quickly became my passion. Today, I bowl in as many tournaments as possible and continue to set new goals. I am honored to be part of the Evolution Staff and look forward to learning as much as I can about the sport I love. In my spare time, I like to cook and bake. My favorite things to make are smoothies and pancakes. I also like to spend time with my friends and love to make them laugh. I am pretty quiet on the lanes, so I think a lot of people would be surprised that I can be outgoing. Bowling has brought me so many things that I never expected and I am grateful for all that it has taught me both on and off the lanes.


What is your favorite Storm Bowling Ball?

"Storm Ice and Reality"


Do you play other sports or have another hobby? What are they?

"I work at two race speedways on the weekend and a local restaurant during the week. When I am not working or bowling I enjoy cooking/baking, listening to country music, spending time with my friends, and camping."
