Posted By: How May I Help You NC on April 23, 2012 Posted: Apr 23, 2012 6:03 PM EDT By Scott Abraham BOWIE, Md.-The Center for HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Media Advocacy held their annual awards banquet this past Friday night, April 20, 2012 on the campus of Bowie State University in their Wiseman Student Center. The awards celebrate the 2011 campaign. An article published by HBCUDigest.com announcing the winners stated that "the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) was the big winner of the evening, capturing best research center, best female athlete and coach, and best women's program." The capacity audience at the event included Sharon Brummell, former head coach of the UMES Women's Bowling team. She won Female Coach of the Year and accepted two other awards, including Female Team of the Year for her 2011 NCAA Champion Women's Bowling squad. She also accepted Female Athlete of the Year for Kristina Frahm, who was away coaching the women's bowling team at the Intercollegiate Team Championships (ITCs). The women's bowling team made history in 2011 winning the 'triple crown' of the sport, capturing the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Championship, the NCAA Championship and the United State Bowling Congress Collegiate Championship. They became the first program ever to win both bowling National Championships in the same season and Brummell was given much of the credit for that historic season.
