HBCU Bowling Stars Shine in MEAC Competition

HBCU Bowling Stars Shine in MEAC Competition
Posted By: Will Moss on February 21, 2026


The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), home to some of the nation's most prominent Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), has once again recognized the exceptional talents of its student-athletes in the sport of bowling. This week, the conference announced its weekly bowling honors, shining a well-deserved spotlight on the standout performances of two rising stars from HBCU programs.

Bowler of the Week: Madison Colston, University of Alabama at Birmingham

Madison Colston, a standout bowler for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Blazers, has been named the MEAC Bowler of the Week. Colston's impressive display of skill and consistency on the lanes has earned her this prestigious accolade, further solidifying her reputation as one of the conference's premier competitors.

Colston's performance this past week was nothing short of remarkable, as she led her team to a series of dominant victories. Her ability to maintain focus and execute under pressure has been a hallmark of her game, making her a valuable asset to the Blazers' bowling program.



As an HBCU student-athlete, Colston's achievements not only bring pride to the UAB community but also serve as an inspiration to aspiring bowlers across the HBCU landscape.

Key Takeaway: Madison Colston's recognition as MEAC Bowler of the Week is a testament to the exceptional talent and dedication of HBCU student-athletes, who continue to push the boundaries of excellence in their respective sports.

Rookie of the Week: Gabriela Becerra Diaz, University of Maryland Eastern Shore

In addition to Colston's impressive performance, the MEAC also recognized the outstanding debut of Gabriela Becerra Diaz, a freshman bowler for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) Hawks. Becerra Diaz has been named the MEAC Rookie of the Week, a remarkable achievement that showcases her promising future in the sport.

Becerra Diaz's exceptional skill and poise on the lanes have been instrumental in UMES's recent successes. As a newcomer to the MEAC, she has quickly established herself as a force to be reckoned with, contributing significantly to her team's victories. Her recognition as the Rookie of the Week is a testament to the depth of talent within HBCU bowling programs and the continued commitment of these institutions to developing well-rounded student-athletes.

"Gabriela has been a valuable addition to our team, and we are thrilled to see her recognized for her exceptional performance. Her dedication and talent are a true reflection of the caliber of student-athletes that HBCU programs continue to attract and nurture."

The MEAC's weekly bowling honors serve as a poignant reminder of the remarkable achievements of HBCU student-athletes. As the premier online community for HBCU alumni and supporters, HBCUConnect.com takes great pride in celebrating the success stories that emerge from these esteemed institutions. The recognition of Colston and Becerra Diaz not only highlights their individual prowess but also underscores the depth of talent and the unwavering commitment to excellence that defines the HBCU sports landscape.
