Team Information

Illinois State University has had a long involvement with Intercollegiate Bowling, participating for over 30 years. The Bowling Team travels throughout the United States to compete in various tournaments and competitions in hopes of ultimately advancing to College Bowling USA’s National Intercollegiate Bowling Championships. We are proud of our accomplishments and we hope that you want to be a part of our future.

The main campus is located in Normal Illinois, which is 135 miles southwest of Chicago and 160 miles northeast of St. Louis. The Twin Cities of Bloomington-Normal have a population of over 100,000 people. Yearly enrollment at Illinois State University is over 20,000 students. The main campus is fairly condensed, making walks between classes easy. The Bowling Teams practice facility is the Bowling & Billiards Center (BBC) located north of the Bone Student Center. The BBC has 10 Brunswick Pinsetters with synthetic lanes and Brunswick Automatic Scorers.
