Belton, TX – University of Mary Hardin-Baylor baseball player Seth Lynn has been voted the male co-winner of this year’s American Southwest Conference Community Service Award. Lynn becomes the first UMHB student-athlete to win the award.

            Lynn, a sophomore first baseman for the Cru baseball team from Katy Taylor High School, organized and helped lead the baseball team’s involvement in this year’s Pink Zone campaign for breast cancer awareness and research. The baseball team sold t-shirts and tribute cards and also took donations throughout the campaign and helped raise more than $950 for breast cancer research. Lynn also helped coordinate efforts with other UMHB athletic programs as the school focused its fundraising projects on breast cancer awareness and research. It was through his hard work and coordination efforts that UMHB had its most successful year of community service and fundraising. Lynn also earned ASC All-Academic honors as the Cru’s starting first baseman and he helped lead the UMHB baseball team to a fourth straight ASC Championship Tournament berth.

            Lynn shares this year’s male award with East Texas Baptist University football player Michael Cucinotta. Hardin-Simmons volleyball player Kaela Parnell was the ASC Female Community Service Award winner. Junior softball player Sara Roman was the UMHB Female Community Service Award nominee this year.

            The ASC Community Service Awards honor one male and one female who best display leadership and action in fostering community service on their respective campuses and in their community. Each ASC member may nominate its male and female campus Community Service Award Winner to the conference-wide ballot.
