Team History
The Men's and Women's Intercollegiate Bowling Teams at
San Jose State constitute one of approximately 200 such collegiate bowling programs across
the United States. Although the term "intercollegiate" is used, the teams are
not affiliated with the school's intercollegiate athletic program. Rather, the program is
identified as a recreational club sport and is recognized by the University as that which
represents SJSU in intercollegiate bowling competition.
There are very few schools across the country, which offer bowling as part of their
university's intercollegiate athletic program, and less than a dozen, which offer any type
of bowling scholarships. The SJSU bowling program is supported 100% by the fundraising
efforts of the bowlers themselves. It is administered by a staff of coaches who donate
their time.
Within this structure has been built what is considered one of the best collegiate bowling
programs in the country (history of being ranked in the top 10 by the Bowling Writers
Association of America) and during the past 20 + years (since the development of the
Intercollegiate Bowling Championships) it has enjoyed much success. Attached is a brief
synopsis of the performances of SJSU Teams at the Nationals and some individual highlights
from the past 10 + seasons.
