OTTAWA, Kan. – The Ottawa University men's bowling program is pleased to announce the signing of Jace Miles for the 2027-28 season.

Miles, a native of Artesia, N.M., attends Artesia High School, where he is a member of the Bulldogs bowling program. He will join the Braves as a freshman and plans to major in business administration.

During his high school bowling career, Miles has earned All-State honors twice, receiving recognition during the 2023-24 and 2025-26 seasons. He helped lead Artesia to a state championship during the 2023-24 season and has been part of four state tournament-contending teams. Miles also competed in the 2023 Junior Gold Championships.

In addition to bowling, Miles participated in football and baseball during his high school career. He played football as a freshman and baseball during his first three years at Artesia before focusing on bowling during his senior year.

Outside of athletics, Miles has excelled academically, maintaining a 4.0 grade point average. He is also developing a scholarship platform inspired by the Common Application, designed to simplify the scholarship search and application process for high school students.

Miles has entrepreneurial aspirations, including establishing a successful business that would eventually allow him to open his own bowling alley and give back to the sport that has played an important role in his life.

Miles is the son of Bryan and Marybelle Miles.
