Youngstown, Ohio — Madyson Marx, a three-time All-American and a fifth-year senior on Youngstown State's National Championship team, has joined the YSU bowling coaching staff as a graduate assistant. Head Coach Doug Kuberski announced Marx's continuation with the program in the new role on Monday.

"We are thrilled that Madyson will be staying on board as an assistant coach," Kuberski said. "She has played a big role in building our culture over the last five seasons and has emerged as a great leader on and off the lanes."

Marx begins her coaching career after a prolific five years as a student-athlete at YSU. She earned All-America honors from the National Tenpin Coaches Association in each of her final three seasons, including first-team recognition in 2024-25. Marx was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Final Four as she averaged an impressive 22.54 pins per frame at the event, and she averaged a team-best 22.06 overall average in the NCAA Tournament. She finished her career as YSU's all-time leader in traditional game average at 205.33.

In her final year, Marx was named Conference USA's Bowling Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a Second-Team Academic All-American by College Sports Communicators to cap an impressive list of academic accomplishments. She was also a three-time Academic All-District selection by CSC, and she was a two-time recipient of the Conference USA Commissioner's Academic Medal. Additionally, Marx was named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team in 2024, and she was a three-time All-Academic Team selection in the Southland Bowling League.

Marx graduated summa cum laude from Youngstown State with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice in May 2024.
