Wayne State College Associate Athletics Director John Schwarte has announced the launch of men's and women's bowling as elevated club sport programs, set to begin competition in the 2027-28 academic year.
Darin and Jessi Jensen have been tapped to lead the charge for the revived Wildcat programs.
The two bowling programs will offer scholarships to recruited athletes beginning in their inaugural season.
The coaching staff has hit the trail immediately, utilizing the 2026-27 academic year to recruit prospective student-athletes before competition officially starts the following year.
College Club Sport programs are clubs that are coach-ran versus the traditional student-led model.
With NCAA Division II—the division WSC is associated with—moving forward with its own separated division of competition, establishing an elevated club program serves as a critical first step in potentially transitioning women's bowling into a full NCAA championship sport at WSC.
