Aria Christian 

* 8th Grader 
* Beast Champion X6
* Beast of the Year 
* Multiple 2nd & 3rd Place Beast Wins 
* 2026 South Carolina Youth Scratch Championships (SMART) Tournament U14G Champion
* 2025 U12 Pepsi Champion 
* High School Baker Champion

Aria's bowling journey began at the tender age of three, when she was more adept at knocking over bumpers than pins. With relentless determination, she honed her skills, initially competing against her sister but ultimately striving to surpass all challengers-except for her dad, of course. While she explored other sports like gymnastics and softball, none captivated her quite like bowling, which continually drew her back to the lanes.  Aria's passion for softball remains close to her heart, especially a fan of baseball, but commitment to becoming the best bowler she can takes precedence.  This dedication paid off when she made the Varsity team at Airport High School as a remarkable 12-year-old seventh grader. During her time on the team, they achieved great success, winning the High School Baker Championship and finishing as the runner-up in the High School Team Championship.  Beyond her impressive bowling achievements, Aria also gives back to her community by volunteering at Christ Closet Clothing Ministry, which provides essential items to families in need. Her combination of athletic prowess, community service, and unwavering drive makes her an exceptional addition to our Ambassadors.
