COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M senior Laura Grace Robinson was named a Big 12/Chick-Fil-A Community of Champions recipient, the league office announced on Tuesday.
From Houston, Texas, Robinson was honored by the program that emphasizes community service, academics and sportsmanship by student-athletes.
