Haley Hall has been tabbed to replace Gregg Haden as head coach of the Iowa Central men’s and women’s bowling programs. Haden, who won four national championships leading the Tritons, announced his retirement following the season.

Hall has served as an assistant under Haden since 2018 following a standout career at the lanes for Midland University. She was named MVP of the Intercollegiate Team Championships in 2017, helping Midland to a third place finish.

A native of Lincoln, Neb., Hall won three straight state championships while competing for Lincoln North Star High School.

“Haley has been a pillar of strength and consistency for our program and we’re proud to announce that she will be promoted to the head coaching position,” ICCC athletic director Kevin Twait said. “She is an outstanding teacher of the game and is also a tremendous recruiter.

“Haley has been Coach Haden’s top assistant for many years and is more than ready to assume the responsibilities of guiding our men and women’s bowling program. We will certainly miss the knowledge, experience and passion that Coach Haden brought to our program, but are confident that student-athletes in our bowling program will continue to experience success both in the classroom and at the alley.”

Haden led the Iowa Central men to national championships in 2017 and again two years later, as the women went back-to-back win 2020 and ’21.

“Iowa Central has felt like home from the moment I stepped onto campus in 2018,” Hall said. “I’ve learned so much the past seven seasons under Coach Haden and I’m looking forward to continuing to learn and grow in this new position.

“The success we have stems from the support from not only the athletic department, but everyone else on campus too. I have loved bowling for over 20 years and getting to develop student-athletes into not only better bowlers but also into better people is something that I’m grateful I get to do every single day.”
