COUGAR COACH SPOTLIGHT
Coach Jenny Wielbruda
Head Bowling Coach
“When I announced that we would bring a bowling team
to the HNA Athletic Program in 2019, Coach Jenny
Wielbruda immediately approached me and asked me if
she could coach the team. She was all-in with the Holy
Rollers from day one! In her three years of coaching,
she has led HNA to two third place finishes in Metro and
sent two bowlers to the State tournament this year. I will
be forever grateful for her help starting our program and
building it to what it is today!”
—Lacey London, Athletic Director
“Coach Wielbruda always pushed us to be our best
selves and never doubted our abilities.”
—Lucy Nord ’22, Senior Captain
“She always motivated us, whether it be during practice
or matches. I really appreciate how she would take the
time to give us specific critiques to help us become
Coach Wielbruda (center) with Rylie Shaeffer ’22 (left) and Lucy
better bowlers.” Nord ’22 (right).
—Mimi Gabbert ’22
