Since joining the adult leagues at 16, Pobloski has left her mark over 26 years as a member of the KWBA/Kenosha USBC Women’s Bowling Association.

A two-time Kenosha News Match Game Tournament champion (1998, 2001), Pobloski has carried a 200-plus average since the 2003-04 season. Her personal best was 216 twice achieved (2005-06, 2007-08).

Competing for Northern Lights, Pobloski and teammates broke the Kenosha High League series for a five-woman team, rolling a 3,246 on May 13, 1993 and improved the mark to 3,259 four months later — a record that stood for six years.

In December 2008, Northern Lights set the four-woman team record with a 2,879, which included the city and state record for a team game of 1,027.

Pobloski competed in 18 City Tournaments, winning five all-events titles, one singles title, six doubles titles and 13 different team events. She’s won the Kenosha Scratch Bowling Alliance three times.
