BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced each of its 14 member institutions' 2022-23 Brad Davis Community Service Award Winners Thursday, with rowing's Lucy Marret and men's diving's Nick McCann winning the award from Tennessee.
The SEC Community Service Post-Graduate Scholarship is named for former Associate Commissioner Brad Davis. Davis succumbed to cancer on March 2, 2006. He had been a member of the SEC staff since 1988, first serving as an assistant commissioner until 1994 when he was promoted to associate commissioner.
As winners of the award, Marret and McCann will receive a $5,000 post-graduate scholarship provided by the SEC. Both nominees are also in contention for the Male and Female Brad Davis Community Service Leaders of the Year award, with each selection receiving a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship.
Marret, a two-time SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient, has been a member of the first varsity four boat for the last year and a half. This season, she's compiled a 22-12 record in the boat, including wins against Boston, Clemson, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina and Oklahoma. During the Lake Wheeler Invitational on April 21-22, she helped the crew to an impressive 12-3 slate for the regatta.
After garnering 2021 All-Big 12 Academic First Team honors, Marret was a member of the 2021-22 class for VOLeaders Academy that concluded with a cultural exchange trip to Rwanda, which provided applied leadership and service opportunities focused on community development and social change through sport.
McCann, a member of the 2020-21 VOLeaders Academy class, served this past season as a student manager with diving after medically retiring. During his time with the Vos, he was a three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll selection while majoring in biological sciences.
