Meet the Ath’elite’: Wyatt Geary
Wyatt Geary, Unified Bowling
Jan 6, 2021
Athlete: Wyatt Geary, Class of 2021
Sport: Unified Bowling
“I have been bowling all 4 years [of high school],” said Geary. He started bowling for the Millard South Unified Bowling team because he likes “bowling with his dad.”
Wyatt is a very sports-oriented kid, also participating in unified basketball while enjoying to play other sports as well. But even with all the natural talent that Geary has still doesn’t mean sports, including bowling, will come easy.
“I don’t like when the pins split, it’s hard,” said Geary. “I don’t like to mess up, but I tell myself ‘I’ll get it next time.’”
Something that makes tournaments and mistakes better each time is his teammates.
“After I get a strike, I love when my teammates give me high-fives and elbows,” Wyatt said.
He says his teammates “support and congratulates him by patting his back and giving high-fives.”
That and “getting strikes” are Wyatt’s favorite things about bowling, but he says that as long as “my teammates and I are doing good, I am happy.”
Since Wyatt is a senior, this past season of unified bowling was his last.
“I’m going to miss bowling and the team,” said Geary.

I am so proud of Wyatt for the kind of joy filled young man that he is. As an educator, father, and grandfather I am so impressed with the unified sports program. I am proud of the student athletes across the ability spectrum. Their obvious care about each other, win or loss, should be noted as a model for all Americans in these days.
Wyatt, PaPa and Grandma Linda are so very proud of you. We are here for you!! Congratulations and we live you!!!
