Congrats kid!!

Like this post and join us in congratulating Cuetec's own Hayden Ernst on an unbelievable performance at the 2026 USA Junior National Championships!

Hayden captured four national titles during an outstanding week in Dubuque, Iowa, winning the U-17 9-Ball, U-17 10-Ball, U-19 8-Ball, and U-19 14.1 divisions. Even more impressively, Hayden went undefeated throughout the junior championships, not losing a single match in any of the disciplines he competed in.

These victories bring Hayden's total to an incredible 11 USA Junior National Titles since 2024, cementing his place as one of the brightest young talents in American pool.

By winning the U-17 9-Ball and 10-Ball titles, Hayden also earned the opportunity to represent Team USA at the 2026 WPA Junior World Championships in San Antonio, Texas this coming November, where he will compete against the world's top junior players from more than 40 countries.

Congratulations, Hayden! We are incredibly proud of everything you've accomplished and the dedication you've shown to reach this point. It's been exciting to watch your journey, and we can't wait to cheer you on as you represent Team USA on the world stage this November.
