The Illinois Wesleyan University (IWU) bowling team concluded its third season at the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Tournament II on March 5. The tournament took place at Stardust Lanes in Addison, Illinois, and was hosted by Elmhurst University.
The Titans competed against North Central College, Elmhurst University, Carroll University, and Aurora University. Their highest total pinfall was achieved against North Central College with 720 pins. Senior Shea Atkins from Chicago and freshman Kiera Henderson from Silvis recorded the two-highest total pinfalls for IWU with scores of 645 and 629 respectively over four games.
On the second day of competition, the team participated in matches using the baker system format against Augustana College, Marian University, and Carthage College. Despite their efforts, IWU did not secure a victory.
Looking ahead to the next season in 2023-24, many key players are expected to return. The tournament marked the end of careers for Shea Atkins and Alivia Catey, both instrumental in establishing the program.
