July 14, 2024
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Dexter High School All-American Team has been announced for the 2023-2024 school year, with Tamia Yeager of Tacoma, Washington, and KC Campbell of Newark, New Jersey, named as captains.
The teams were selected by Dexter Bowling in consultation with the International Bowling Campus Youth Development staff. Each team is comprised of five student-athletes who had to participate on a recognized interscholastic high school bowling team during the 2023-2024 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.
“Congratulations to the Dexter High School All-American Team on your remarkable achievement,” said Paul Sylvia, Dexter Bowling Vice President. “Your hard work, determination and teamwork have truly exemplified excellence. On behalf of Dexter Shoe Company, we are incredibly proud of your success and wish you continued greatness in all your future endeavors.”
Each team member will receive a $1,000 scholarship. Yeager and Campbell were announced as captains during a lunch Sunday as part of the 2024 Junior Gold Championships in Detroit. 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:
Miya Greene (San Antonio) – The senior maintained a 4.0 GPA and was ranked No. 45 in her graduating class of 755 students at Brennan High School despite taking on a course-load that featured multiple advanced placement (AP) classes. While at Brennan, Greene was a member of the bowling team and student council. Outside school, she was active in Girl Scouts, San Antonio Youth Leaders, the Greater San Antonio USBC Board of Directors, National Honors Society and the National Society of High School Scholars among other endeavors. On the lanes, Greene helped Brennan to the 2023 Texas High School All-District Team Championship. Also, she was named to the Northside School High School All-Tournament team in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and was a finalist in the U15 girls division at the 2022 Junior Gold Championships, where she finished seventh.
Ashley Imhoff (Cabot, Arkansas) – The senior excelled both in the classroom and as a participant in multiple extracurricular activities while at Cabot High School. Imhoff maintained a weighted GPA of 4.0392 throughout her high school career, leading to her graduating with Distinguished High Honors status. When not bowling or working on her studies, Imhoff participated in Cabot’s Sports Medicine Club (2021-2024), STEM Club (2023-2024) and the National Honors Society (2023-2024). On the lanes – she was the Arkansas State Best-of-the-Best silver medalist in 2024 and a member of that year’s Arkansas Overall State Tournament Team while helping Cabot to a runner-up finish in 6A. Imhoff’s success wasn’t limited to high school bowling, however, as she finished in the top 50 out of nearly 600 competitors in the U18 girls division at the 2023 Junior Gold Championships in Indianapolis as well.
Hailey Lennox (Mount Vernon, Washington) – Through her junior year, Lennox has carried a 4.0 GPA and maintained straight A’s to establish herself as an exemplary student at Washington Virtual Academy. She’s stayed active in extracurricular activities as well as she’s been involved in the WVA Chess Club (2021-2022), Painting Club (2021-2024), Book Club (2023-2024) and Bowling Team (2023-2024) as well as being a member of Future Health Professionals (2023-2024). On the lanes, Lennox earned Washington Interscholastic Activities Association First Team All-Conference status during the 2023-2024 season and was named the Northwest Conference’s Most Valuable Player. She also has two Washington Youth Bowler’s Tour girl’s scratch titles to her credit and made an appearance at the 2022 USA Bowling National Championships.
Maggie Smith (Ypsilanti, Michigan) – The lone sophomore on this year’s girls’ team, Smith has been solid in the classroom at Milan High School, tallying a 3.7 GPA over the course of her first two academic years. However, she hasn’t set herself apart due to classwork alone. Smith also has filled roles as a majorette and clarinet player in various ensembles within the Milan High School Band, has played on the junior varsity tennis team and has served as captain and anchor bowler of the Milan Bowling Team. Her prowess on the lanes allowed Smith to be named Division 3 All-State and Huron League All-Conference First Team in 2024 while carrying a 195 average and authoring a high game of 267.
Tamia Yeager (Tacoma, Washington) – The junior is this year’s girls team captain and only two-time Dexter High School All-American Award recipient, having earned the honor during the 2022-2023 season as well. Through her first three years at Spanaway Lake High School, she's established a 3.83 GPA despite taking multiple honors and AP classes as well as studying both Korean and French. Yeager’s track record of volunteerism is equally impressive as, over the years, she has dedicated her time and efforts to multiple organizations in and around the Tacoma area, including Tacoma Rescue Mission Organization, Special Olympics and the South Sound USBC Youth Committee. Despite dedicating so much time and effort to causes off the lanes, Yeager’s bowling accolades have continued piling up as well as she won the 2024 Washington State Queens Princess Division title and the 2024 Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Class 3A Division state championship, during which she maintained a 220 average and amassed the highest pinfall among bowlers in all divisions.
The boys team features:
KC Campbell (Newark, New Jersey) – This year’s boys team captain was a senior at Seton Hall Preparatory School in 2023-2024, and he finished his high school career with a 3.82 GPA and a host of impressive achievements on and off the lanes. While at Seton Hall, Campbell was a member of the National Honor Society, participated in the Anywhere Real Estate Workforce Readiness Workshop and served as an assistant coach during Jersey Lanes’ Saturday morning youth leagues. Campbell’s role as a coach seems appropriate given his own track record of success on the lanes. He maintained a high average of 237 during the 2023-2024 season, up six pins from his high of 231 the season prior. Additionally, Campbell has 12 career 300 games, two 800 series and is a 2024 Junior Gold Championships U18 boys national qualifier.
Houston Fulks (Franklin, Tennessee) – The junior continued turning heads at Franklin High School this year on account of his 4.17 weighted GPA and high marks in multiple honors and AP classes. His skills in the classroom allowed Fulks to become a member of both the National Honor Society and the National Society of High School Scholars. Outside the classroom, Fulks is a black belt in Waydo Ryu Karate, a cross-fit athlete and an avid golfer and, of course, bowler. On the lanes, he’s been a starter at the high school varsity level since eighth grade. Fulks has authored multiple top-10 finishes at the state level and was a finalist for the WillCo Award, which is given to the county’s top bowler.
Benjamin “Mason” Mullins (Washington Court House, Ohio) – The junior has established a 4.0 GPA and remained in the top 20 in his graduating class of more than 150 students at Washington High School despite challenging himself with a rigorous roster of honors and AP classes. Mullins, a National Merit Scholar qualifier, also has been a member of Washington’s varsity tennis team, marching, concert and symphonic bands – first chair – and Athletics Advisory Council. He has been a three-year starter and anchor on the varsity bowling team, during which time he has qualified for the individual district tournament twice (2021-2022 and 2022-2023). Mullins is also a USBC Bronze coach and was named Frontier Athletic Conference First Team All-Conference during the 2023-2024 season.
Jake Paulson (Hudson, Wisconsin) – Despite being just a sophomore, Paulson already has left more than four years’ worth of impact on the landscape of New Life Academy and his local community thanks to his outstanding academic performance and numerous community service efforts. During his first two years at New Life, Paulson has established a 4.21 GPA and maintained straight A’s. Outside of school, he’s done volunteer work for Operation Help, Feed My Starving Children and Toys for Tots among other organizations. On the lanes, Paulson has qualified for the state tournament as an individual during each of his first two high school seasons. He’s found considerable success at the Junior Gold Championships as well, finishing 195th out of 695 bowlers in the U15 boys division in 2022 and 131st out of 1,313 competitors in U18 boys in 2023.
Logan Winkler (Lebanon, Tennessee) – The senior managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA throughout his career at Friendship Christian School despite challenging himself with multiple honors-level classes. He was on Friendship’s Academic Honor Roll all four years and was named to the President’s list in 2023 and 2024. Winkler’s community involvement was equally impressive as he dedicated his time and effort to helping causes such as Run4Water, A Christmas for Everyone, Team Alex’s Spend a Day in My Wheels and Jones Brummet Elementary School’s Special Needs Program among other. When not helping others find success, Winkler has found a great deal of his own as he was the 2024 Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s Division II individual state bowling champion. Also, he was a 2024 Tennessee USBC Mr. Bowling finalist and is a four-time Junior Gold Championships national finals qualifier.
