Fresno State Bowling Coach Chris Preble was awarded Coach of the Year at the annual California United States Bowling Congress 2018 State Convention this weekend.

Chris, a Fresno State graduate who was part of the university's bowling team while a student, recently completed his 15th year volunteering as a coach for the Fresno State Bulldog Team — with 2018 marking his ninth year as head coach.

Chris is also a volunteer coach at the Central California USBC, where he helped establish a Learn-to-Bowl program, along with a Youth Camp last year.

Chris will receive the award from the State Association based on his years of dedication to the sport, his work with the Fresno State program, all his outside volunteer work coaching bowling, and his bowling career success.
