A former Newman University Jet bowler, Kevin Fanter enters into his fifth year as the Assistant Men’s Bowling Coach. Kevin signed as a transfer from Wichita State University in 2007 and helped lead the Jets to two consecutive national Intercollegiate Team Championship appearances from 2008-2010. During his bowling career, Fanter also helped his team maintain national team rankings in the Top 10, reaching their peak in 2009 as a Top 5 team in the nation. Fanter also earned honors throughout his three years on the lanes as he was named tournament MVP at the Rebel Classic, where fellow Newman bowlers Derek Hartnell, and Kevin Andes finished second and third respectively. That tournament was one of four that the team won in 2008, as they also won the Leatherneck Classic, McKendree Baker Challenge, and the Keystone Quaker Classic.  

Fanter brings more than eight years of experience to his coaching career in addition to his academic background as a Newman University Alum where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in the field of Elementary Education in 2010. Fanter is currently working as a teacher at Peterson Elementary School.
