Davies and Martingayle Named to the SEC Community Service Team

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Seniors Thelma Davies and Jackson Martingayle were both named to the 2023 SEC Community Service Team, the league office announced on Thursday afternoon.

The SEC Community Service Team is a yearly team released by the conference in a continuing effort to recognize the accomplishments of student-athletes beyond the field of competition. All league-sponsored sports have had a Community Service Team since 2004, with at-large teams for men’s and women’s sports being chosen from 1999-2003.

Davies has volunteered with the Walls Project, the LSU annual BOOzar, participated in a few Tiger Life service socials, and more.

She will be continuing her season and closing out her LSU career next week at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Austin, Texas. Davies is entered in the women’s 4×100-meter relay as the anchor leg.

Martingayle has volunteered in public schools to assist elementary school students improve their reading. He was also a volunteer intern helping with a summer program where kids in a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood can make friends and keep up on their schoolwork. The Virginia Beach native also has logged time as a research volunteer logging hundreds of hours on a climate change receiving communities’ study, as research assistant in LSU’s school of renewable natural resources, and as an undergraduate teaching assistant, helping fellow students with their writing.

Martingayle was most recently named as a CSC Academic All-District Team member yesterday, and was also named the 2022-23 SEC McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
