BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced its 14th-annual women's volleyball SEC Community Service Team Wednesday with senior Brittany Thomas representing Alabama on this year's list.
Thomas led the team in volunteer hours over the past calendar year, giving her time to a number of worthy causes. In the spring, she volunteered with the East Tuscaloosa Community Soup Bowl, which serves hot meals twice a week and sack lunches on Sundays, a tradition that has continued ever since the devastating tornado that hit Tuscaloosa in April of 2011. Thomas also volunteered at gymnastics' annual Power of Pink meet, helping light luminaries along the front steps of the coliseum in honor of those who lost their lives in the fight against breast cancer. Even during the volleyball season, Thomas found time to help with the annual Halloween Extravaganza event, joining more than 250 other student-athletes who wore costumes and played games with area youth.
A native of Chandler, Ariz., Thomas recently completed her Crimson Tide career, playing in 131 matches over her four years. She is the sixth player in program history to be ranked among the top 10 in both career kills and digs. She played all six rotations as a freshman in 2013, earning All-America honors en route to an NCAA Tournament appearance. Thomas is set to graduate with a master's degree in marketing.
The SEC sponsors Community Service Teams for all 21 league sponsored sports. The Community Service Team highlights an athlete from each school who gives back to their community in superior service efforts.
