Aggies Robert Grant, Madalaine Stulce named to SEC Community Service Team
Jun 01, 2017 | Track and Field
BIRMINGHAM – The Southeastern Conference on Thursday announced the Community Service Team for the sports of men's and women's track and field and cross country. Representing Texas A&M were Robert Grant and Madalaine Stulce, who have both advanced to the NCAA Championship weekend in Eugene.
The conference names a Community Service Team for each of its 21 league-sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his or her community through superior service efforts.
Grant placed third in the SEC Championships with a time of 49.15 seconds in the 400m hurdles, just shy of the Aggie school record by tenth of a second. Grant currently has six of the top 10 performances on the Texas A&M all-time list in the 400m hurdles, with three additions occurring this season.
In addition to the hurdles, Grant is also a member of the Aggie 4x400. He ran second leg on the relay indoors when Texas A&M claimed the NCAA Indoor title with a meet record 3:02.80 and secured the team championship with the victory. Outdoors, Grant has been third leg of the relay when the Aggies set world-leading times of 3:00.72 to win the SEC title and 3:00.69 at the NCAA West meet.
Stulce improved her best in the javelin by 11 feet during the SEC Championships to place fourth with a throw of 181-5 (55.31), which moved her to No. 4 on the Aggie all-time list. During the NCAA West, Stulce led the field of 48 throwers with a mark of 172-5 (52.55) to qualify for Eugene.
Last season, Stulce opened her javelin campaign with a throw of 146-1 (44.54) and improved to 162-2 (49.44) a month later. A throw of 162-1 (49.41) during the 2016 NCAA West competition placed Stulce 11th and earned her a trip to the NCAA Championship weekend.
As a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Executive board at Texas A&M, Grant is in charge of social media, and provided assistance with planning and setting up for Aggies CAN, an annual food drive on campus during home sporting events.
Grant has also volunteered with Helping Hands, in which groups of students assisted with making prosthetic hands for financially disabled people in other countries. He also participated with a group of students who visited local schools through the nutrition department to teach and talk about health and hydration.
Stulce is a member of the SAAC team that helped lead the Aggies CAN project this year and volunteered with Helping Hands. She also worked with Move Initiative to promote building a healthy relationship with food to elementary students.
Another project Stulce assists with is 180 Degrees Consulting, an organization where student-athletes have the ability to work with non-profits to help develop their operations to increase their service in the community.
