Grambling has been honored for its across-the-board achievements in the 2009-10 sports season. The Southwestern Athletic Conference announced on Tuesday that the GSU won the James Frank Award, an all-sports award that assigns points based on performance in each of the conference's 18 varsity sports. GSU's men's and women's sports teams combined for 150.5 points, beating second-place Jackson State, which finished with 143.5 points.Grambling also won the C.D. Henry (men's all-sports) Award. GSU had 71 points, beating out Arkansas-Pine Bluff (66.5) and Alabama State (64.0).
Neither award would have been possible without a late-season surge in men's spring sports. First, GSU won a conference title in men's outdoor track and field on May 2. The Tigers were led by Darwin Price, who captured an individual title in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, finished second in the 1,500-meter run, and finished third in the 800.
