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.
