AStateRedWolves.com 3 2010-11 Arkansas State Women’s Bowling Head Coach Justin Kostick Justin Kostick led the A-State bowling squad to its third con- secutive 70-win season, landing at 79-40 (.663) overall, during his first year as head coach. The Red Wolves advanced to the semifinals of the 2010 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships, and two players earned All-America honors. Kostick is just the second head coach in the history of the ASU bowling program, which advanced to the NCAA Championships each of the last three seasons, finishing as national runners-up in 2008. "My goal is to bring a national championship to Arkansas State," said Kostick. "The team is pretty solid, and there is a very good base to build around." Kostick served as the head men's bowling coach at the University of Nebraska from 2004-06, leading the Cornhuskers to a top-five finish at the 2004 USBC Intercollegiate Team Championships, three other tournament titles and six second-place tournament finishes. "Justin brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the position," said Lee. "He has a tremendous amount of experience with both the professional and technical aspects of bowling and comes to Arkansas State highly recommended. As a player and coach at one of the top bowling programs in the nation, Justin has certainly developed the knowledge and leadership skills necessary to continue ASU's strong tradition in women's bowling." An accomplished bowler, Kostick boasts five perfect games, two of which were back-to-back. He has posted a high series of 825 and is a two-time Washington State Champion at the Pepsi Youth Championships. In 1997, he finished eighth at the National Pepsi Youth Championships. In 1998, Kostick won the Junior Olympic Gold Qualifier tournament and placed 45th at the Junior Olympic Gold tournament later that year. He competed for the University of Nebraska men's bowling team from 1999-2004 and was coached by two-time PBA Champion Bill Straub. 4 AStateRedWolves.com 2010-11 Arkansas State Women’s Bowling 2010-11 ASU Red Wolves Lela Dudley 5’4” • Junior Blue springs, Miss.
