Night of Champions banquet spotlights Hall of Fame inductees, MVPs and All-Americans
April 16, 2026
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The United States Bowling Congress Collegiate Hall of Fame Class of 2026 was inducted, and the Most Valuable Players of the 2025-2026 collegiate season were named by the National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association (NCBCA) during the annual Night of Champions banquet at The Oneida Hotel in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday night.
Warren Eales of Las Vegas, P.J. Haggerty of Roseville, California, and Jazreel Tan of Singapore earned induction for their on-lane performances as Student-Athletes. Kerm Helmer of Cheektowaga, New York, joined this year’s class in the Coach category. Steve Lawson of Mahomet, Illinois, completed the Class of 2026 for his dedication to collegiate bowling as a Contributor.
Speaking of contributions, Wichita State’s Carter Street and Pikeville’s Brianna Rogers delivered standout performances for their respective teams this season, which led to the pair being named this year’s NCBCA Most Valuable Players for the 2025-2026 USBC Collegiate season.
The inductions took place and honors were bestowed during the annual Night of Champions banquet, which was broadcast live at BowlTV.com and served as the kickoff to the Intercollegiate Team Championships.
Street, who earned NCBCA All-America second team honors last season, averaged just under 224 over nine events and posted an average differential of 37.86 during his senior campaign at Wichita State. He also landed in the top 15 in Tier I average (217.77) and Tier I differential (28.79), which helped the Shockers to the No. 2 spot in the team rankings in the final regular season poll.
Street averaged nearly 241 over the course of 14 games while collecting three individual victories – Jayhawk Collegiate Challenge; Collegiate Shoot-Out (Tier I); Southwest Intercollegiate Bowling Conference (SWIBC) V – this season. Those weren’t his only successful outings, however, as the two-handed righty also secured four top-five finishes, five top 10s and six top-25 efforts.
Street was joined on this year’s NCBCA All-America first team by Brandon Bohn of Webber International, Mount Mercy’s Jacob Bockstie and Blake Walsh and Kendric Siders of St. Ambrose.
Bockstie was named the NCBCA Rookie of the Year after securing one win, three top-five finishes, six top-25 finishes and averaging 220.88 this season.
During her senior year at Pikeville, Rogers finished the regular season seventh in average (205.57) and first in average differential (37.399) over nine total events; however, she was fourth in both statistics across four Tier I events (204.45 and 33.06).
Also, the 2025 NCBCA All-America second team member collected three individual wins and four top-five finishes while helping the Lady Bears to fifth place in the final women’s regular season team rankings.
Joining Rogers on the 2026 NCBCA All-American first team were Louisiana Tech’s Juliana Kerrigan, Jenna Stretch and Kylee Trexler and Mia Stolakis of Tulane.
This year’s women’s NCBCA Rookie of the Year honors went to Claire Jacobson of Newman, who secured one first-place finish, five top fives and six top 25s in eight events while finishing the year with an average of 202.76.
The NCBCA Kerm Helmer Coach of the Year award went to Mount Mercy’s Andy Diercks while Mount Mercy’s Cassidy Courey and Wichita State’s Rick Steelsmith shared NCBCA Gordon Vadakin Coach of the Year honors.
The Gordon Vadakin Coach of the Year award recognizes the top coach in the men’s division, and the Kerm Helmer Coach of the Year award is given to the top coach in the women’s division.
James Saffold of Stardust Bowl in Addison, Illinois, was recognized as the Gordon Teigen Meritorious Service Award winner for 2026.
The Gordon Teigen Meritorious Service Award is an annual award presented to an individual for outstanding service to collegiate bowling.
Wednesday night’s five hall of fame inductees certainly made their own contributions to the world of collegiate bowling.
Eales was a standout performer at Arizona State University from 1979-1982, helping the Sun Devils remain a fixture on the national scene while collecting several impressive individual accolades as well.
In 1979, the talented right-hander helped ASU to a sectional championship, a seventh-place finish at nationals and the No. 1 spot in the final men’s collegiate poll of the season.
Two years later, Eales would help the Sun Devils to both a sectional title and national championship while collecting all-tournament team honors and earning the distinction of shooting the highest individual six-game scratch block of the 1981 men’s national tournament (1,257).
The 1982 season was Eales’ last on the collegiate lanes, and he went out in style, helping ASU to a sectional championship, third place at nationals and the top spot in the final men’s poll of the season.
Those accomplishments and many more helped Eales to be named the 1982 Arizona State University Bowler of the Year.
Even though Eales was justifiably proud of his many individual achievements, it was the honors earned alongside his ASU teammates that have always meant the most to him.
“I won a lot of things individually, but the team wins were the ones that stand out and that I remember the best,” Eales said. “One of the great things about team sports is that, when you win as a team, the euphoria is multiplied by as many players and coaches as are on the team. Those team victories were always so much more gratifying for me than anything I did on my own.”
Nevertheless, being enshrined in the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame is an individual honor that Eales is very thankful for.
“I’m very grateful that they got the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame going and that they’ve gone back and looked at some of the things the earlier players accomplished,” Eales said.
Haggerty certainly accomplished plenty as he was a dominant force during his collegiate career at Fresno State, earning national recognition through consistent excellence on the lanes.
During his four years bowling for the Bulldogs, Haggerty collected nine individual tournament victories, 18 top-five finishes, 21 top-10 finishes and 29 top-25 efforts.
The powerful right-hander also walked away with a national title, which he won thanks to a first-place finish at the 2005 Intercollegiate Singles Championships.
Haggerty was a four-time collegiate All-American, earning second team honors as a freshman during the 2003-2004 season and then being named to the first team in 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007.
That wasn’t, however, the only hardware Haggerty collected during his illustrious career as he also was named the men’s NCBCA and International Bowling Media Association (IBMA) Player of the Year during each of his final three collegiate seasons.
But, for Haggerty, his time as a collegiate bowler was about far more than wins, losses, plaques and trophies.
“If I hadn’t bowled in college, so many other memories would never have happened in my life,” Haggerty said. “I was fortunate enough to bowl with such a great group of guys that I get to call lifelong friends; a couple of them were in my wedding. You can’t take that stuff away.”
Something else that nobody can ever take away is Haggerty’s pride and sense of honor for having been inducted into the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame.
“With all of the amazing collegiate players of all time, for me to be part of the third class to go in is super special,” Haggerty said. “This might be the coolest thing that’s happened in my career; it’s pretty awesome.”
Awesome would certainly be an appropriate word to describe Tan’s career, during which she established herself as one of the premier collegiate bowlers of her generation while spending four years competing for the vaunted women’s program at Wichita State.
The right-hander from Singapore wasted no time making her presence felt after joining the Shockers, earning NCBCA Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman during the 2009-2010 season.
That was only the beginning though as Tan would go on to become a four-time NCBCA First Team All-American, three-time IBMA Collegiate Bowler of the Year (2010-2011; 2011-2012; 2012-2013) – she was the first woman to win the award three years in a row – and a two-time women’s NCBCA Most Valuable Player (2010-2011; 2011-2012).
She also collected a pair of third-place finishes at the Intercollegiate Singles Championships (2012 and 2013) and was named to the all-tournament team at the 2013 Intercollegiate Team Championships where she helped Wichita State to a third-place finish.
Those accomplishments and many more led to Tan’s induction into the Wichita State Hall of Fame earlier this year and the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame on Wednesday night.
“It’s kind of surreal to get such good news twice in the same year; what are the odds?” Tan asked. “With the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame being so new, there are many people who deserve to get in way before me, but I’m thankful that my accomplishments have been recognized. Being able to say thanks and being appreciative of what college bowling has given me is something I treasure a lot.”
Helmer passed away in 2002 at the age of 59; nevertheless, the legacy he established during his 37 years as head coach of the men’s and women’s bowling programs at Erie Community College will forever be treasured as part of collegiate bowling’s rich history, which is why the legendary coach’s name can be found on the trophies presented to each year’s ITC national champions.
The 2012 inductee into the USBC Hall of Fame (Meritorious Service) founded the men’s bowling team at Erie in 1975. One year later, the college would add a women’s squad as well.
Once the program was up and running, Helmer quickly helped Erie establish itself as one of collegiate bowling’s perennial powers.
Helmer’s teams finished in the top 10 in the final polls during every season from 1976 through 2002, collecting an astonishing 37 National Junior College Athletic Association titles along the way, 22 for the women and 15 for the men.
The Kats and Lady Kats also collected a pair of USBC national championships with the women winning titles in 1980 and 1982 while the men earned first-place finishes in both 1986 and 1988.
Helmer also made his mark on the world’s stage, helping coach U.S. athletes to multiple medals during international competition.
Kelli Helmer didn’t always fully comprehend the impact her father had on collegiate bowling and the athletes in his charge; nevertheless, Kerm Helmer’s induction into the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame on Wednesday night serves as another reminder to her and her family just how special the late coach was and how his name will forever be part of collegiate bowling’s storied history.
“A lot of the kids my dad coached were 17 and 18 years old, and some were coming from places like South Africa. Their parents were leaving them here under the guidance of my dad,” Kelli Helmer said. “He took them in, gave them a place to stay and was trusted by their parents to take care of them.
“Growing up, he was a coach, but he was just my dad. To see how much he’s still present in people’s lives today is pretty incredible.”
Lawson’s impact has been nothing short of incredible as he has dedicated a significant portion of his life to advancing collegiate bowling through leadership, administration and long-standing service to the sport.
He competed for the University of Illinois from 1973-1975 before moving on to serve as the program’s coach and advisor (1976-2002); nevertheless, Lawson’s contributions have extended well beyond the lanes.
Lawson was a founding member of the NCBCA – he is now a lifetime member – serving the organization as president (1988-1990), secretary (1991-2010) and treasurer (2002-2022).
He also has served as IBMA Collegiate Poll Committee Chairperson, Region 9 Collegiate Division Representative, tournament director for multiple marquee events and sectional coordinator and statistician for both the Intercollegiate Team Championships and Intercollegiate Singles Championships.
When Lawson’s collegiate bowling journey began more than five decades ago, he never dreamed he would one day land in the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame and be considered one of the most influential figures of his time.
“Nobody starts out thinking ‘In 20 years, I’ll be in the hall of fame,’ so I feel honored to be considered part of a group that made a difference,” Lawson said. “I just did things I thought needed to be done, and I’d like to think that, across the 50 years, I somehow bettered collegiate bowling.”
The USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame was announced in November 2022, and the inaugural class of five inductees was enshrined in April of 2024.
The formation of the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame was announced in November 2022.
The USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame Committee is comprised of 13 individuals, featuring representatives appointed by the USBC Collegiate Advisory Committee, USBC Hall of Fame members and veteran bowling writers. The committee only considered collegiate achievements when reviewing applications for the USBC Collegiate Hall of Fame.
