Kanak July 13, 2025ARLINGTON, Texas – The Dexter High School All-American Team has been announced for the 2024-2025 school year, with Tamia Yeager of Tacoma, Washington, and Drake Wait of Stillwater, Minnesota, named as captains.The teams were selected by Dexter Bowling in consultation with the Selection Committee. Each team is comprised of five student-athletes who had to participate on a recognized interscholastic high school bowling team during the 2024-2025 school year. Applicants were required to have at least a 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) and submit a resume of their bowling and academic achievements, along with an essay, to be considered for the team. They also were required to provide recommendation letters from their coaches or athletic directors and at least one additional letter of recommendation. “We are incredibly proud to congratulate this year’s Dexter High School All-American Team,” said Paul Sylvia, Vice President of Dexter Bowling. “These outstanding student-athletes represent the future of our sport, and their passion, performance and character embody everything Dexter stands for. We’re honored to support them at this exciting stage in their journey and proud to welcome them into the Dexter family.”Each team member will receive a $1,000 scholarship. Yeager and Wait were announced as captains during a lunch Sunday as part of the 2025 Junior Gold Championships in Green Bay. Both captains will receive an additional $500 scholarship and take home the Bud Clapsaddle Award, named for the former Dexter Bowling vice president who oversaw selection of the first 12 teams.The girls’ team includes:Malayna Calo (Riverview, Florida) – The junior has established a 5.71 weighted GPA and is ranked in the top 15 in her graduating class of 140 students at Bell Creek Academy High School despite taking on a course-load featuring multiple advanced placement (AP) and honors classes. Calo, who earned a spot on Junior Team USA’s Developmental Squad in 2024 thanks to a top-10 finish at the 2023 Junior Gold Championships (U15), has enjoyed consistent success while representing Bell Creek on the lanes, helping the team to multiple Florida High School Athletic Association District 5 team titles, an individual championship and three individual runner-up performances. When not bowling or hitting the books, Calo has helped her community through her involvement in Girl Scouts and as a volunteer for Seeds of Hope, Metropolitan Ministries, Relay for Life and the Mayhem Wrestling Club.Kyrah Durham (Mansfield, Texas) – During her tenure at Mansfield Lake Ridge High School, Durham excelled both in the classroom and as a participant in extracurricular activities such as Future Medical Professionals, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Health Occupations Students of America. She finished her high school career with a perfect 4.0 GPA, earning Teacher’s Choice and Senior of the Month honors along the way. When she’s not on the lanes competing, Durham works to help build a better bowling community throughout the state of Texas by serving as Texas USBC State Youth Director, a position she’s held since 2022. Her work in association leadership also led to her earning the Texas State Youth Bowler Service Award in 2021. Durham is just as impressive with a bowling ball in her hands, however. She was a three-time varsity letter winner for Mansfield Lake Ridge (2022, 2023 and 2024), a two-time Texas State All-Events Scratch champion (2022 and 2024) and has qualified for the Junior Gold Championships national finals every year since 2018.Mylie Galigher (Bowerston, Ohio) – Galigher maintained a 4.0 GPA and established herself as an exemplary student at Conotton Valley High School, where she was a member of the National Honor Society, was vice president of her senior class and was named Academic All Ohio in 2023-2024. She stayed active in extracurricular activities as well, competing as a member of Conotton’s bowling, cheerleading, softball and volleyball teams. On the lanes, Galigher helped Conotton to a record of 73-7 during her high school career. That mark included an Ohio High School Athletic Association Division II state title in 2022-2023 and another state tournament appearance in 2023-2024. This past season, Galigher earned distinctions as an Ohio Valley Athletic Conference All Star as well as OVAC and Inter-Valley Conference All-Conference First Team.Aubrey Garton (Olivehill, Tennessee) – The senior was stellar in the classroom at Hardin County High School, where she finished her high school career with a 4.0 GPA and ranked No. 1 in her graduating class of 233 students. However, Garton didn’t set herself apart due to classwork alone. She also made her mark while participating in several extracurricular activities and serving countless community groups. Garton’s list of organizations served includes National Honor Society, 4-H Honor Club, Future Farmers of America, New Pleasant Grove Freewill Baptist Church, HCHS Hitmen Trap Team and Hardin County Airport to name a few. On the lanes, Garton helped Hardin County to four Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association Division I state titles. She also achieved considerable individual success, which included a fifth-place finish as an individual at the 2024 TSSAA State Tournament.Tamia Yeager (Tacoma, Washington) – Yeager is the first three-time Dexter High School All-American in program history, having earned the honor during both the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons as well. She also retained her status as team captain in 2025 after having first earned the distinction last year. Yeager is a graduate of Spanaway Lake High School, where she finished her high school career with a 3.83 GPA despite challenging herself with multiple honors and AP classes. In the community, Yeager has served organizations such as Emergency Food Network, Special Olympics, Twin Star Community Foundation and South Sound USBC Youth Committee to name a few; however, all that time spent helping others hasn’t prevented her from enjoying plenty of success of her own on the lanes. During the 2024-2025 season alone, Yeager, the 2025 USBC Earl Anthony Scholarship winner, took first at the Junior Bowlers Tour of West Seattle Girls’ Scratch Weekend, finished second in the Princess Division at the Washington State Queens and was named Tacoma Athletic Commission Winter Sport Athlete of the Year. The boys’ team features:Jerrad Barczyszyn (North Las Vegas, Nevada) – Barczyszyn was a senior at Shadow Ridge High School with a 4.0 GPA (4.95 weighted GPA). He received an Advanced Honors diploma while also earning college credit as a dual-enrollment student at both Nevada State University and the College of Southern Nevada. Barczyszyn was able to effectively balance a stellar academic career with excellence on the lanes. Among his notable bowling accomplishments are a 2025 5A Nevada High School State championship, multiple wins in Junior Bowlers Tour competition and a 2024 Nevada State Pepsi championship. He’s a two-time Bobby McVey Nevada High School MVP champion and a two-time Nevada Prep All-Southern First Team Bowling selection (2022 and 2023). Off the lanes, Barczyszyn spent time volunteering at the pro shop in the Red Rock Casino where he developed informational videos on bowling equipment. During high school, his interest was sparked while taking a class in forensic science, and he will continue his academic pursuit of that interest while also continuing his bowling career at Grand Canyon University. Josiah Casler (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) – Casler, a senior at Conestoga Valley High School, carried a cumulative GPA of 4.35 while taking numerous honors and AP classes. His dedication to his academics was rewarded with membership in three different academic honor societies: National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society and Math Honor Society. Casler was a member of the school’s bowling team all four years of high school and was named team captain his senior year. He was named section MVP his junior year and was league and district MVP his senior year while earning a fifth-place finish in districts. He was named to the Icebreaker Tournament High School Boys All-Star Team his senior year and rolled six perfect games over the course of his final two years in high school while averaging 225 or better each of those two years. Casler also was active in his community with volunteer work that included organizing and operating a bowling fundraiser for Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services and participating in a mini-thon fundraiser for pediatric cancer research and care. He also is very active in his local church and community with teaching and mentoring projects. Quinn Dean (Reynoldsburg, Ohio) – The junior at Reynoldsburg High School has established a 4.0 GPA (4.57 weighted GPA) in a curriculum that includes a number of Honors and AP courses. He is a member of the National Honor Society and participates in several clubs and activities, including Model U.N., LEO Club, Wind Ensemble Band, Handbell Choir and the tennis team. He’s a three-year varsity letterman in bowling, is the team captain and has been the recipient of the Jean Martin Sportsmanship and Leadership Award three years in a row. He has won multiple titles on the Junior Tournament Bowlers Association (JTBA) Tour and owns a top-10 finish in the 2022 Junior Gold Championships (U15 Boys division). During the 2024-2025 season, he earned first team All-Ohio individual honors at the Ohio High School Athletic Association state finals, and his team finished first in its conference and tied for first as Division A champions while Dean was named to the Division A All-Conference team. Dean also volunteers his time coaching youth leagues at two different bowling centers in the Columbus, Ohio, area (he has earned his Level 1 USBC Coaching certification). Dean intends to pursue his bowling career in college with an intended major that would involve Finance/Business and/or Mathematics. Austin Goetz (La Porte, Texas) – Goetz has enjoyed an exemplary academic and athletic career while completing his senior year at La Porte High School. Goetz carried a 3.58 GPA (4.475 weighted GPA) while taking advanced and college preparatory classes. He is the recipient of the 2025 Ed Calcote Memorial Scholarship Award and was cited as a leader for the student-led LPSportsNET program that brings the school’s sports to an online audience. He facilitated every role in that program, demonstrating exceptional leadership, adaptability and a strong work ethic, and his dedication was noted as being instrumental to the program’s success. Those same attributes have no doubt led to Goetz’s success on the lanes where he is both a Greater Houston USBC Youth/GHCPA and Texas USBC Youth Bowling Hall of Honor inductee. He bowled on the high school team all four years, was a three-time captain/co-captain, a three-time team MVP and four-time member of the All-District team. During the 2024-2025 season, the team won the district championship, and Goetz was the singles district champion. He is a four-time qualifier for the Junior Gold Championships, a three-time PBA Junior Southwest Regional National qualifier and a multi-time winner on the San Antonio Youth Bowlers Tour. Goetz will continue his academic and bowling career at Newman University.Drake Wait (Stillwater, Minnesota) – This year’s boys’ team captain recently completed his junior year at Stillwater Area High School, where he’s established a 3.91 weighted GPA while taking on challenging courses such as AP Psychology and physics. Wait is highly active outside the classroom as well, playing tuba in the school band, achieving black belt status in karate and dedicating time to his community through service to programs such as Feed My Starving Children and the Youth Mental Health Initiative. On the lanes, Wait’s objective is “to be a critical and motivating member of a high performing bowling team.” He’s certainly been a cornerstone for Stillwater, serving as team captain, earning First Team All-State honors and recording the highest strike and fill percentages in the state with marks of 69.1% and 94.38%, respectively. Wait has also achieved success on the national stage, finishing tied for 38th in the U18 Boys division at the 2024 Junior Gold Championships. That performance was hardly surprising, however, as Wait already has seven certified 300 games and four 800 series to his credit.For more information on high school bowling, including the Dexter High School All-American Team and grant initiatives to assist high school programs, visit BOWL.com/HighSchool.2024-2025 DEXTER HIGH SCHOOL ALL-AMERICAN TEAM Name, Hometown, Year, High SchoolGirls TeamMalayna Calo, Riverview, Florida, Junior, Bell Creek Academy High SchoolKyrah Durham, Manfield, Texas, Senior, Mansfield Lake Ridge High School Mylie Galigher, Bowerston, Ohio, Senior, Conotton Valley High School Aubrey Garton, Olivehill, Tennessee, Senior, Hardin County High SchoolTamia Yeager, Tacoma, Washington, Senior, Spanaway Lake High SchoolBoys TeamJerrad Barczyszyn, North Las Vegas, Nevada, Senior, Shadow Ridge High SchoolJosiah Casler, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Senior, Conestoga Valley High SchoolQuinn Dean, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, Junior, Reynoldsburg High SchoolAustin Goetz, La Porte, Texas, Senior, La Porte High SchoolDrake Wait, Stillwater, Minnesota, Junior, Stillwater Area High School
