Picture
Derek, Metro Early College High School
Derek is a senior at Metro Early College High School and has a 4.09 GPA. He plans to go to OSU main campus in the fall and major in biology and nutrition. He will have enough credits that he will be well into his sophomore year when he starts college this fall. He also works at the OSU Rothenbuler Bee Lab as a lab assistant.
He bowled for Whetstone High School throughout high school and will be bowling for OSU when he starts college this fall. He bowled in the Classic Singles League at Sequoia where he averaged 180 on sport conditions which convert to a 208-standard average. He also volunteers as a youth coach at Sequoia Pro Bowl. If time allows, he still plans on coaching next year.
He is very interested in becoming more involved in the administrative side of bowling and is currently on the Youth Committee for Central Ohio. He is also enthused about the “Young Delegate Grant” that USBC offers to young adults. His hopes are to be elected as a delegate to go to the National Convention in 2026 and then be eligible to apply for the grant.
His hobbies are music (guitar, drums, piano, voice), cubing and gaming. He also plays tennis and is a student of the history of bowling.


​Congratulations Derek!
