Normal- The final poll conducted by the National Ten Pin Coaches Association has been released, and the A&M bowlers remain amongst the top teams in the country at 20th.
Since the NCAA Championships was the only competition since the last poll was released, the teams ranked 11-20 from the April poll were carried over to the final poll, while there was quite a bit of reshuffling by the top eight teams.
The Lady Bulldogs remained as the only representative from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, despite not winning this year conference title.
