b. Feb. 1, 1957, Duarte, CA
"Mighty Mite" dominated women's professional bowling from 1978 through 1981. She was Woman Bowler of the Year each year and, in that four-year period, she won five major titles: the Women's Open in 1978 and 1981, the WIBC Queens in 1979 and 1980, and the WPBA National Championship in 1980. Adamek led the WPBA tour in winnings for three consecutive years, 1978 through 1980.
Adamek teamed with Nikki Gianulias to win the WIBC doubles title in 1980. The following year, she and Pat Costello tied with the team of Shirley Hintz and Lisa Wagner for the title. During the 1981-82 season, Adamek rolled three perfect 300 games, a record she shares with four other women.
