BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU swimmers Spencer Adrian and Natalie Kucsan were named to their respective SEC Community Service teams Tuesday, the league office announced, recognizing their community service efforts in Baton Rouge.
The SEC sponsors Community Service Teams for all 21 league-sponsored sports. The Community Service Team looks to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to their community in superior service efforts.
Adrian aided the Halloween Boozar, an annual free event that provides a safe and fun environment for children of all ages and their families to enjoy trick-or-treating activities and carnival games while interacting with LSU student-athletes. He is also a representative of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, which is committed to providing insight into the student-athlete experience.
