MSU lanes named for Wilson

MOREHEAD, Ky.---Morehead State University’s bowling lanes will be named in honor of a longtime coach and educator.

The Laughlin Health Building facility, previously called University Lanes, will officially be renamed the Larry Wilson Bowling Lanes at a 4 p.m. dedication ceremony on Founders Day on Tuesday, March 11.

Wilson coached the MSU bowling teams from 1972 until his retirement. He also served as manager of the University Lanes, and assistant director of intramurals and recreation.

During his coaching career with the bowling program, the women?s team has consistently been ranked as one of the top five women?s teams in the nation since 1989. The squad won national championships in 1989, 1998, 2000 and 2002, was runner-up in 1993 and finished in third place in 2006.

Seven times, an Eagle bowler has been named Female Collegiate Bowler of the Year, and runner-up for the award 11 times.

The men’s team also enjoyed success under Wilson’s leadership, as runner-up in the 2003 national tournament and third place in 2005.

Wilson taught in MSU’s Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (now the Department of Health, Physical Education and Sport Sciences). He also worked as an instructor for the Upward Bound program from 1984-97. He is a three-time MSU graduate, having earned a bachelor’s degree in 1965, a master of arts degree in 1969 and a master of arts in higher education in 1978.

When he retired, a $20,000 fundraising campaign was started by a group of former bowlers, in recognition of his dedication and devotion to the bowling program. The goal was reached, and the proceeds of the fund drive will benefit the bowling teams’ travel, equipment and other needs.

Additional information about Founders Day activities is available by calling the Office of Development at (606) 783-2033.
