Surfside Runner-Up

Arryn closed the 2026 Youth Interstate All-Star season with one of his best weekends of the year at Surfside Bowling Entertainment Center, posting a season-high 203.5 average over six games on a demanding Junior Gold sport pattern.

He finished second in the individual standings, just eleven pins behind winner Kaleb Luther, and walked away with the High Set award for a 653 three-game series. The result also locked up second place overall in the season-long Bowler of the Year race.

The gold bar is his high game. The award-winning 653 came in the final three games, when he stacked 226, 203, and 224 to surge up the standings. The dashed line marks 200.

Across the full 18-game interstate season Arryn totaled 3,410 pins at a 189.4 average, finishing second overall in the Bowler of the Year standings, 114 pins back of champion Ean Laws. He bowled the season for Virginia, and finished as the highest-placed Virginian in the field — first of the ten VA bowlers in the standings and 271 pins clear of the next, in a 38-bowler field drawn from North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia.

Bowler of the Year ranked by total pins across the interstate season.

Arryn anchored the Virginia U15 Boys squad in both individual and Baker team play, providing scoring and leadership through the season.

The 2023 USBC Junior Gold Advancers Round #1 pattern is a true championship sport condition, low ratio and longer than a house shot, the kind of lane that demands precise adjustments rather than rewarding misses. Holding a season-high 203.5 on it, and shooting a 653 to close, is exactly the adaptability and finishing nerve that interstate competition is built to test.

Congratulations to Kaleb Luther on winning the final stop and to Ean Laws on the Bowler of the Year title. Thanks to the Virginia program, coaches, and teammates whose support carried through the full interstate season.

A season-high set, a High Set award, and second across four states. A strong way to close the year.
