Youngstown, Ohio — Youngstown State bowling alumna Jade Cote earned two medals at the 2026 PANAM Bowling Champion of Champions last week in Costa Rica.
Competing for Team Canada at the Bowling Center of the Costa Rica Country Club in San José, Cote earned a silver medal in doubles and a bronze in the singles competition. Highlighting her week was when she posted an eight-game set of 1,815 in the doubles competition to set a new Canadian eight-game record. That was the highest set recorded among the 11 pairs competing, as Cote and Marissa Naylor combined for a score of 3,458.
In singles, Cote nearly matched her record-breaking set by shooting 1,810 in her second eight-game block to climb to third and earn a bronze medal. Cote shot 1,673 over her first eight games, and she had high games of 280 and 268 in the second block to surge up the leaderboard.
Cote was a two-time First-Team All-American and a two-time First-Team All-Conference USA selection during her Youngstown State career from 2021-25. She was YSU's Female Athlete of the Year in 2023-24, and she anchored the Penguins during their national championship run in 2024-25.
