DALLAS – Middle Tennessee women's basketball student-athlete Alexis Whittington was named one of 11 Conference USA student-athletes to receive the Winter Spirit of Service Award this year.
The award is designed to recognize the league's student-athletes who contribute to the community through service project efforts, are in good academic standing and through participation in their respective sport. Today's recipients represent athletes who competed in the winter season: men and women's basketball and men and women's indoor track and field.
Whittington, one of the top defensive players in the country, helped lead MTSU to a 28-5 record this past season, a conference championship and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Murfreesboro, Tenn., native set the MTSU record for games played with 152.
Off the basketball court, Whittington has helped with Special Olympics, Reading in School Days at local elementary schools, and has cooked food for local homeless shelters. She also helped with hurricane relief efforts for the Bahamas.
