Wartburg College will add women’s and men’s bowling as varsity sports. The teams will begin competition in the 2018-19 academic year. This marks the first new men’s program since soccer was added in 1989, and the newest women’s program since lacrosse was established in 2013. The two bowling teams will bring Wartburg’s total to 22 varsity teams– 11 each for women and men. The programs will compete as independents, as bowling is not an Iowa Conference sponsored sport.
