Prairie View A&M University Athletics

Glenn H. White has elevated the Prairie View A&M bowling program into a perennial SWAC championship contender and one of the nation’s best teams. As one of the top coaches in the sport, White has also been one of the game's leading ambassadors. In December 2015, White was named to the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Women's Bowling Committee, of which he was a member for six years. An appointment that was designated for only four years. He served as Chairman of the NCAA Women's Bowling Committee in 2021 and is the first head coach of an HBCU bowling program to earn this distinction. White was instrumental in enabling PVAMU to serve as a regional host for the NCAA Women’s Bowling Tournament for the first time in school history in 2022 and this honor will continue through 2026. In the spring of 2022, White guided the team to their fifth SWAC Regular Season Crown in the past six seasons. He was named SWAC Coach of the Year, while Crystal Cline was named Bowler of the Year and received First Team Honors as well. Asia Wren was also named SWAC first team and Stephanie Vasquez was named to the All-SWAC Second team. This was White’s fourth time to be named Coach of the Year. PVAMU received the highest ranking in school history and the (NTCA) National Ten Pin Coaches Association in 2017. The team was ranked 15th but finished the season as the 19th-ranked team in the country. In 18 seasons as head coach, White has led the program to five league titles (2012, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2021), three runners-up finishes (2010, 2011, 2016), and 10 appearances in the SWAC Tournament, as well as four regular season titles. With more than 30 years experience as a certified bowler, he has led the Lady Panthers Bowling team to ten straight appearances to the league’s

championship tournament, in which PVAMU has been in the championship match in seven of the past nine seasons. For the past two seasons, White has helped to guide the team to be recognized as one of the top ten academic bowling programs in the country with last year’s team finishing number three in the country with a team GPA of 3.7. Along with the SWAC championships and academic honors, White has built the annual Prairie View Invitational at the ITRC Bowling Tournament into one of the nation's best. Just completing its eleventh year, the event continues to attract nationally ranked teams at the world-renowned Bowling ITRC Complex in Arlington, Texas. His previous bowling stints include serving as Operation Manager and Co-Chairman Of The Village Express Bowling Association which helped manage the first-ever NCAA Women’s Bowling Championship in Houston in 2004. White is a member of the National Tenpin Coaches Association and served as Chairman of the Board of the Prime-Time Bowling Association in Houston.
