Becoming a Student—Athlete at Central Missouri

2013-14 ~ UCM Jennies Bowling Media Guide ~ 13 Bowling at Central Missouri

The 2013-14 season begins the 12th year for women’s bowling as a varsity athletic team at UCM. Throughout this period, Central Missouri has annually been recognized as one of the nation’s best among all National Collegiate Athletics Association schools. Due to post-season requirements, Central is limited in playing against women’s collegiate squads outside the NCAA system. However, UCM maintains membership with the sport’s governing body and uses select events against USBC teams to provide elite- caliber competition and experience during the year.

Student-athletes come to Central from all over the world, bringing with them a wealth of talent and knowledge to share on and off the lanes. The ladies learn immediately that academics must be the first priority and life as a UCM student-athlete must be build around the balance of working and giving to your teammates, school and community. The women serve as tremendous ambassadors for UCM and learn a great deal about themselves during their time here.

Bowling student-athletes compete at an NCAA Division I level in this National Collegiate championship sport. Although the program is relatively young compared to others on campus, several teams and individuals have left lasting impressions. Amber Gazverde became the first bowling athlete to be become National Player of the Year and inductee in the UCM Athletics Hall of Fame. Four ladies (Wells, Jimenez, Caldwell and Peak) have earned spots on the U.S. National Teams. The 2012-13 Bryanna Caldwell, Sara Cox and Tina Peak on the road squad was the first to be ranked #1 in the nation during the season. Bryanna Caldwell became the first alumni of Photo taken by Kim Wirth the varsity era to earn national event title in 2010.

Before varsity level play . . .

The women’s bowling program began on Central’s campus in 1971 and functioned as a club-sport until 2001. Throughout it’s years as a member of the United States Bowling Congress collegiate program, UCM competed against over 100 other junior college, AIAW, NAIA, NCAA and club-sport teams in an effort to win the women’s Intercollegiate Bowling Championships and Individual national titles of their era.

Central Missouri earned numerous tournament and conference titles in addition to qualifying for the national championships twelve times in the final twenty years of club-level play. Included as part of these years were a 2nd place finish at the 1998 Intercollegiate Championships, 4th place at the 1999 Championships and 5th place honors at both the 1990 and 2000 Championships. Two Central Missouri women also won collegiate Individual titles.

Multiple teams and elite-level players helped lay the foundation for the standard of success maintained today, including women such as Terry Eddy, Michelle Day, Cheryl Gibson, Jana Ohlendorf and Lisa Stack. These are just a few representatives of the women who earned the top conference and national awards of 1990 women’s team at the national championships in Portland, OR Photo taken by USBC their time, including Player of the Year and All-American honors.

Ms. Stack was Central’s first four-year All-American. Lisa was also the first player to earn a spot on the U.S. National Team and first to win an international gold medal. Ms. Olhendorf and Amber Gazverde won collegiate individual titles. Michelle Day has the honor of the highest women’s professional finish, just missing out on two different Women’s Professional Bowler’s Tour regional titles with 2nd place honors.

Women’s bowling is not the only game . . .

UCM continues to support a bowling program for men on campus as a club sport through the Office of Campus Activities. Their program was also established in the early 1970’s and is one of over 200 in the United States who annually compete to earn the USBC Collegiate men’s national title. Most men’s program in the U.S. function at this level.

The men have competed at the highest levels of collegiate play and were the #1 ranked team in the nation for a portion of the 1998 season. Their teams have won numerous top-5 awards in the regular and post- season, highlighted by winning the 1996 ACUI Team Championships and 3rd (1998) and 5th (2001) place finishes at the Men’s Intercollegiate Championships.

Accomplishments of alumni male players include a Professional Bowler’s Association title (’85), PBA Rookie of the Year honors (’85), a Team USA member and multiple collegiate All-Americans. Art Brown is the most recent Central male alumni who has come close winning a another PBA title, finishing 3rd at the U.S. Master’s Championships in 2006.
