ATHENS, Ga. --- Texas A&M seniors Tiffany Futscher and Connor Long were named to the Southeastern Conference's Community Service Team for swimming and diving, the league office announced on the first day of the 2019 SEC Championships at the University of Georgia.

The SEC sponsors Community Service Teams for all 21 league sponsored sports. The Community Service Team looks to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to their community in superior service efforts.

Tiffany Futscher, Senior, Irving, Texas
Active in the community, Futscher has spent many nearly 80 hours serving various organizations during the 2018-19 school year alone. In addition to providing more than 60 hours of nursing support at the College Station Medical Center, she volunteered with Aggies CAN (annual student-led canned food drive), packed canned goods at the Brazos Valley Food Bank and packed clothes for single mothers at the Lincoln House of Hope. An active member of Texas A&M's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Futscher has served as the organization's Secretary (1016-17), Productions (2017-18) and Vice President of Student-Athlete Wellness (2018-19). As a part of her duties with SAAC, she created a mental fitness program for student-athletes to become aware of the impact mental health has on life and athletic performance. Futscher has been named to the Texas A&M Athletics Director Honor Roll and the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

Connor Long, Senior, Charlotte, North Carolina
As a team captain, one of Long's primary responsibilities is organizing monthly community service projects for the Aggie swimming and diving team. Long and his teammates have consistently served Twin City Mission, which helps homelessness, violence and abuse, family conflict, youth in crisis, life skills deficiencies and poverty in the Brazos Valley. The Aggies serve as clean-up crews for the shelter's local warehouses, among other duties. Long also participated in Aggies Read, which is a Texas A&M student-athlete led initiative to promote literacy in local schools. He served with The Big Event for two years before becoming the team liaison and organizer in 2018 and 2019. Throughout his collegiate career, Long has participated in Aggies CAN, which is the largest student-athlete-run canned food drive in the nation. He was the Aggies' nominee for the 2019 SEC Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year with a 3.481 grade point average in industrial distribution.
