GREENDALE, Wis. - The Women's International Bowling Congress has announced that Kim Parrott, Green Bay, Wis., has been named the 2000-01 WIBC National High Average Award winner. Parrott established a 233 average for 48 games during the 2000-01 bowling season in the Riv's Rowdies league at Riviera Lanes in Green Bay.

"WIBC is pleased to acknowledge Kim's tremendous achievement in winning the 2000-01 WIBC National High Average Award," said WIBC Executive Director Roseann Kuhn. "Kim demonstrated consistent excellence on the lanes this season."

An engraved National High Average medal symbolizing Parrott's achievement will be sent to the Green Bay Women's Bowling Association for a special presentation.

Detroit's Altramese Webb originally was declared winner of the National High Average Award in October after averaging 231 in the Clover Lanes Ten Grand League at Clover Lanes in Livonia, Mich. WIBC was notified of Parrott's score after the reporting deadline, but believed it was appropriate to recognize her accomplishment with the national award.

"WIBC will review the reporting process for the selection of the National High Average Award winner so that these dilemmas may be avoided in the future," said WIBC Director of Services Sheila Nyren. "Altramese and Kim are to be congratulated on their fine performances."

The WIBC is the world's oldest and largest women's sports membership organization with nearly 1.4 million members. WIBC's mission is, "To identify and fulfill the needs of women bowlers."
