Crawford shot a 661 three-game series last Friday at Gage Bowl to capture the girls individual title in the third annual Topeka Shawnee County bowling championships.
Crawford rolled games of 224, 211 and 226 to take individual honors by 36 pins as Seaman rolled to its third straight city team championship by a 3,293-2,970 margin over Washburn Rural.
As a freshman Crawford placed 12th in the city meet.

Menke, a 175-pounder, recently reached the 100-win milestone in a meet at Royal Valley, a rare accomplishment for an underclassman.
Menke followed that up with the 175-pound championship in last Saturday's Centennial League tournament at Washburn Rural.
Menke posted a 5-0 record on the day, including a 55-second pin and a 15-0 technical fall.
