Aleta Sill (née Rzepecki, born September 9, 1962) is a retired American professional ten-pin bowler and current bowling coach from Dearborn Heights, Michigan.
In her career, the left-handed Sill won 31 titles (second most on the official PWBA list), including six major championships.
[4] Aleta began bowling at age 5 when her maternal grandparents, Steve and Adeline Zuke, let her roll a few balls after their league session at Oxford Lanes in Dearborn, Michigan.
"[5] After graduating from Crestwood High School in Dearborn Heights,[5] Aleta joined the PWBA in the summer of 1980, with grandparents Steve and Adeline agreeing to pay her tournament entry fees that season.
She entered her first pro tournament in August of that year, the Stroh Light Classic in Rochester, Michigan, and finished 11th.
While struggling through a winless 1982 season, Aleta began to question if she should continue a career as a professional bowler.
[4] Her career really took off in 1984, when she won five titles, including a major at the Sam's Town LPBT Tournament of Champions, and was voted by her peers as the 1984 Player of the Year.
She retired from professional bowling after the 2001 season, having won 31 titles, just one shy of the PWBA record set by Lisa Wagner two years earlier.
[3] Ten years after her PWBA career ended, she won the USBC Open Doubles title with Michelle Feldman in 2011.
