Danielle van der Meer
Danielle grew up Hilversum, The Netherlands (about 20min outside of Amsterdam) where she played various sports growing up. At the age of 10, she decided to really pursue bowling and with parents who already bowled, the basics were quickly learned and scores improved rapidly.
Bowling lots of youth tournaments around the country, Danielle joined the Dutch National Youth Team in 2004 and had her first international event representing her country in 2005. She participated in two European Youth Championships (2005 & 2006) and two World Youth Championships (2006 & 2008) and her success in these events earned her a spot on the Adult National Team. With the adult team she bowled in the European Championships (2008) and the World Championships (2009 & 2013). All combined, she has won 8 international medals, including a Masters Gold at the 2006 EYC and a Team Gold at the 2006 WYC.
After high-school Dani went to school to become a physical therapist. but because The Netherlands doesn't do college sports (at all), combining bowling at such a high level with school was a challenge. Two years into her education she decided she wanted to pursue both of her careers in the USA and joined the Nebraska bowling team in the fall of 2008. Right out of the gate Danielle and her teammates won the 2009 NCAA National Championships while bowling live on ESPN2! The fall of 2009 is when Kayla joined the Huskers and their friendship began. In 2011 Dani graduated from Nebraska with a degree in Sociology but decided she wanted to finish her PT degree in The Netherlands. After visiting the US a few times in the following years, she graduated as a PT in The Netherlands in 2013 and on her last visit to the US she decided she wanted to stay for good. She successfully completed the JayHawk Drilling class in 2014. Dani won the 2014 USBC Women's Championships Singles title (754) as well as the 2015 Illinois Queens Tournament. She also excelled at the 2015 Women's State tournament, winning the scratch singles and all-events titles. In March of 2016, Dani and Kayla both became USBC Bronze Certified coaches.

Nick Jenke
