Key Performance Highlights
Won the U15 Boys division of SYC Nevada, his first Storm Youth Championships title after four podium finishes on the tour.
Trailed after the opening block, took the lead in the Medium and never gave it back, finishing 76 pins clear of Nehemiah Keefer in a 47-bowler division.
1st in the Medium round and 1st in the Long, after opening 2nd on the Short — the only bowler to win more than one block.
His 1,189 Long block, a 237.8 average with every game over 210, was his highest-scoring block of the weekend and came on the last five games.
His highest average at any SYC stop, ahead of the 217.0 he carried at Super Slam Wisconsin, and a +410 differential over fifteen games.
Why This Result Matters
Arryn had bowled eleven SYC stops before this one and finished 2nd twice. The tour had been the one place a title kept getting away, even as he won three PBA Jr. regionals, the PBA Jr. World Championship and the Junior Gold U14 Boys national title.
The shape of the win is worth noting. He opened 2nd on the Short, 74 pins behind Nehemiah Keefer, took the lead in the Medium block and then bowled his best five games of the weekend last, on the long pattern, when the lead was his to protect — a 1,189 that stretched a 70-pin cushion to 76 rather than surrendering it.
