Carbonetto is no stranger to the Junior Gold Championships, having competed in the event for four years and finishing as runner-up in the 2012 Junior Gold Championships while earning a spot on Junior Team USA for 2013. She will bring this level of commitment and excellence to the new position.

“I believe Junior Gold is a vital part of youth development and the growth in the future of our sport,” Carbonetto said.

“I am confident I am uniquely qualified and prepared for this job as I will be able to combine my passion and knowledge for the sport of bowling, along with my educational background in retail marketing and economics.”

“As a staffer, Ebonite International has provided me with an opportunity to live out one of my many dreams of being a professional bowler and competing on the women’s tour,” she said. “Now, I am able to transition into an even larger role within the company. It is an incredible feeling to have a company believe in my abilities and knowledge both on and off the lanes.”
