NEW ORLEANS  – Marshall University Track & Field senior Alycia Rivera has been selected as the school's representative on the inaugural All-Sun Belt Conference Community Service Team for her work from the 2024-25 academic year. 

Rivera started the HerdPaws initiative to support the adoption of mature dogs from the Cabell County area and to collect donations of food, toys and supplies for the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Shelter.
