Aleta Sill

Aleta Sill (born Aleta Rzepecki in 1962) is a retired American professional ten-pin bowler and bowling coach from Dearborn Heights, Michigan. She competed nationally on the Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA) Tour from 1980 through 2001 and, bowling left-handed, won 31 titles, the second most on the official PWBA list, including six major championships. She was the first female bowler to earn more than one million dollars in career earnings. She first bowled at the age of five at a lane in Dearborn that belonged to her grandparents' league, and she decided to turn professional after watching a women's tournament in the Detroit area in 1976. For most of her career she was on the Ebonite national pro staff, and in 1996 she was inducted into both the PWBA Hall of Fame and the USBC Hall of Fame.
