FDU Hall of Fame
Walter Michel was a member of FDU's men's bowling team (1966-69) in the late 1960's. His standout career was highlighted by defeating a bowler from the University of Michigan for the National Championship during his freshman year. Michel won the East Regional, besting a field of 200 bowlers from 55 colleges, to advance to the finals. He averaged a 196 over 16 games in the finals, including a single-game high of 268. His National Championship was the first by a FDU men's athlete and he was also the first freshman to ever win the National Intercollegiate Match Game Championship.
