TUSCALOOSA - Stewart Whitt, an Athens native, has been named to the 2008 Southeastern Conference Men's Golf Community Service Team. The 12 golfers named award winners were announced by the SEC office on Thursday.
The SEC sponsors a community service team for each of the 20 league-sponsored sports. The concept is to highlight an athlete from each of the 12 member schools from each sport who gives back to the community.
Whitt is a senior on the Crimson Tide golf team whose play at the 2008 Schenkel E-Z-Go tournament in March helped the Crimson Tide win the championship. Whitt's volunteer work in the Tuscaloosa and University of Alabama community this past season included being a speaker at "Red Ribbon Week" (teaches kids to say no to drugs) to Tuscaloosa area school children. He is a volunteer tutor at University Place Elementary School. His work as a member and golf team representative on the University of Alabama Student-Athlete Advisory Committee helped raise donations, gifts and financial, for Project Angel Tree, and he was active in organizing and participating in the committee's annual "Halloween Extravaganza" where kids are given a safe and fun alternative to trick-or-treating by coming to the athletic complex for games and fun with Alabama's student-athletes from each team hosting booths and games.
The 2008 SEC Men's Golf Community Service Team includes: Stewart Whitt, Alabama: Jay Moseley, Auburn; Tyler Brown, Florida; Adam Mitchell, Georgia; Garrett Runion, LSU; Hugh Muse, Ole Miss; Jake Lambert, Mississippi State; Warren Thomas, South Carolina; James Brannen, Tennessee; and Chris Rockwell, Vanderbilt.
