The 2026 USBC Team USA Trials concluded on Tuesday night at Gold Coast Bowling Center in Las Vegas, as Round 5 brought five days of competition on five different oil patterns to an end.
The final round was contested on a 40-foot condition and proved decisive in determining the overall standings in both the men’s and women’s divisions.
Based on ranking points accumulated across all five rounds, the top four men and top four women earned automatic spots on Team USA for the 2026 season.
In the men’s division, Ryan Barnes delivered the top score of Round 5. Barnes posted a six-game total of 1,313, highlighted by games of 257 and 279. The strong finish helped last year’s Team USA Trials champion secure second place in the overall standings after five rounds.
Derrick Lewandowski finished second on Day 5 with a total of 1,296, while Kaven Massey placed third at 1,283. Matthew Mesecher followed with 1,279, and Perry Crowell rounded out the men’s top five for the final round with 1,270. Bryce Oliver remained close behind, finishing sixth, but that was enough for him to claim the first place in the overall standings.
With finishing 7th in Round 1, 10th in round 2, 26th in round 3, 8th in round 4 and 6th in round 5, Oliver accumulated 57 points and became the 2026 USBC Team USA Trials champion. Last year's winner Ryan Barnes finished second with 63 points, followed by Julian Salinas in third with 66. Cameron Crowe placed fourth overall with 75 points, while Dawson Peterson completed the men’s top five with 94.
Teuber Makes History in Women's Trials

After all five rounds were completed, Elizabeth Teuber claimed the top spot in
the women’s overall standings. Teuber’s consistency across all five rounds
proved decisive, as she finished the trials with only 47 points.
Kaitlyn Stull secured second place with 62 points, followed by
Bryanna Coté in third with 71. Avery Domaguin finished fourth with 72, while
Gianna Brandolino rounded out the women’s overall top five with 73.
But this wasn't all for Teuber. The conclusion of the Team USA Trials also aligned with the finals of the 2026 U.S. Amateur Championships. In the Amateur stepladder finals, Teuber made history by becoming the first bowler to win both the Team USA Trials and the U.S. Amateur in the same night.
Entering the U.S. Amateur Finals as the top seed, Teuber defeated second-seeded Kaitlyn Stull 215–210 in the championship match.
In the men’s U.S. Amateur Finals, Bryce Oliver also reached the title match as the number one seed. However, Dawson Peterson claimed the championship with a 221–210 victory, preventing Oliver from completing a double win on the final night.
