Kurt Renninger began bowling in the mid 1960’s as a teenager averaging around 140 at the Williamsport YMCA.  After some 20 years, he returned to bowling in 1988 when he began bowling with his  wife, Nancy, in the Brandon League at Fason, as his children were taking up the game in the youth leagues.  In six different seasons during the 1990’s, Renninger finished among the top 40 averages in the local association each season. After finishing in 16^th place with a 217 average in 1993, Kurt posted his career high average of 218 during the 2006-07 season.

With a career high series of 804, bowled on September 17, 1993, Renninger, along with his two children, soon became the first father, daughter, son trio in USBC history to each post an 800 series.  Kurt also bowled three 300 games during the 1990’s and added two more in 2015.  He also has a 299 game to his credit as well as three 11-in-a-row awards.

Renninger has been a true steward of the game of ten-pins, first by teaching his children the game, and then coaching the youth leagues at Faxon long after his kids had graduated from that program.  He stills lends a hand in coaching his two grandchildren.
