BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced the 2024-25 track and field/cross country Community Service Team on Thursday. The conference names a community service team for each of its 22 league-sponsored sports, highlight athletes from each school who give back to his or her community through superior service efforts.
Brighton Mooney and Logan Patete of both the cross country and track and field programs were named to the Community Service teams as the two representatives for Texas.
Mooney is one of the most active community service members of the program and helped with Longhorn Halloween on campus where athletes interact with the community during trick-or-treat. She also spent time with STEMX Girl Day with UT Austin Nutritional science/Davis Lab and Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation.
Patete has worked with the Rise to Vote group on campus to help with voter registration and civic engagement presentation. Both Mooney and Patete engaged with local Austin children at the Special Olympic Field Day on campus and also helped read to a local elementary school. Patete is also preparing to go to the Dominican Republic over the summer with Courts for Kids to help build up communities with other Texas athletes.
