Tradition of Excellence.
Though only officially joining the NCAA ranks in 2024, the Wichita State women's bowling program has been a national powerhouse in collegiate bowling for more than four decades. The Shockers have won a record 11 Intercollegiate Team Championship (ITC) national titles, most recently in 2024 when WSU defeated NCAA champion Jacksonville State. Wichita State also won national titles in 1975, 1977, 1978, 1986, 1990, 1994, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2021. As part of the transition to an NCAA sport, Wichita State will no longer take part in ITC competition. The WSU women's team is the only squad in intercollegiate bowling history to be ranked in the International Bowling Media Association (IBMA) top 10 in every poll since the poll's inception.
Individually, six Shockers have won Intercollegiate Singles Championships: Sara Duque (2024), Paige Wagner (2023), Sydney Brummett (2017), Daniela Alvarado (2009), Elysia Current (2007) and Olivia Sandham (2006).
The Shockers also boast a long list of alums who have gone on to professional success internationally and on the PWBA circuit, including Dasha Kovalova, Rocio Restrepo, Clara Guerrero, Elysia Current, Sandara Gongora and Jazreel Tan.
