DALLAS – Morgan Sharp of the Florida Atlantic University women's cross country and track & field team is the school's recipient of the Conference USA Fall Spirit of Service Award, as announced by the league on Wednesday. Sharp became one of 14 recipients chosen from C-USA in the fall sports of football and men's and women's cross country.
Sharp leads FAU student-athletes in community service hours. The junior participated in the FAU SAAC Campus Clean Up in October and November, donated to the Project Thanksgiving Canned Food Drive and purchased holiday gifts for a little girl for the Giving Tree Organization.
