Wisconsin Runner-Up
Second of thirty-nine in U15 Boys, four sport patterns in three days, and a place earned on the 2026 Storm All-American Team.
Tournament Overview
One weekend after capturing the PBA Jr World Championship at the World Series of Bowling in Allen Park, Arryn was back on the road for the Storm Youth Championships Super Slam Wisconsin. The Super Slam format ran the field across four Kegel sport patterns, short to long, with five games on each before a final standing was set across twenty total games.
Arryn finished 2nd of 39 in the U15 Boys division at +341, a 217 average, and was the only bowler in the division besides the champion to clear 4,300. The runner-up result earned him a spot on the 2026 Storm All-American Team, the stated goal he carried into the weekend. Champion Kristofer Wagner finished at 4,525 with a 300 game along the way.

Why This Result Matters
Two weekends, two of the biggest stages in youth bowling. A world title on one, a national runner-up with All-American honors on the next. The range showed across the four patterns, with Arryn strongest as the oil got longer and heavier and the Long block giving him his best work of the event.
The most valuable takeaway came from the block that got away. Medium 2 was not a ball-reaction problem so much as a spare shooting one, makeable spares left on the table that a sport pattern turns into lost pins in a hurry. Arryn named it himself afterward, and pointed it directly at Junior Gold as the work ahead, spare conversion and a little mental sharpening. A bowler who can win on the sport's biggest stage and still tell you honestly where he needs to get better is a bowler who keeps climbing.
Acknowledgments
A heartfelt thank you to coach Michael Sinek for the work behind the scenes that keeps Arryn in position week after week. Thank you to the Storm Youth Bowling staff and Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley for hosting another first-class event, and to everyone who followed along and kept the support coming all weekend.
This one fell on Father's Day, and there was nowhere better to spend it than in a bowling center watching him compete.
