BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Southeastern Conference announced Thursday afternoon that Canaan Anderson and Callie Tucker were selected to represent Tennessee on the 2025 SEC Track & Field Community Service Team.
The conference names a Community Service Team for each of its 21 league-sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his or her community through superior service efforts.
Canaan Anderson • RS-Senior • XC/Distance
In his fifth year with the Vols, Anderson has logged more than 40 hours of community service during his time on Rocky Top. The Murfreesboro, Tennessee, native was a member of the VOLeaders Academy that traveled to the Philippines during the summer of 2023 for a cultural immersion service trip. Anderson worked with multiple organizations and nonprofits – including Philippine School for the Deaf and Blind, Malbato School, Regalo ng Kilt Foundation, Tagbanua Community, Cebu City Sport Clinic and the Philippine Accessible Disability Service.
Anderson has also volunteered time with Big Brothers Big Sisters in Knoxville and was participant for the Civic Day of Engagement. He was also an active member of Run Your City Knoxville – a six-week program that provided local youth a free introduction to running and sports, working to create an inclusive environment that was accessible to every child, regardless of ability, gender or socioeconomic background.
Callie Tucker • RS-Senior • XC/Distance
A 2024-25 Brad Davis Community Service Award winner, Tucker has logged more than 300 hours of community service during her five-year career as a Lady Volunteer. The bulk of her service work has taken place at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital — volunteering weekly, working the information desk and engaging in activities and games with patients to help pass the time.
In the spring of 2025, Tucker helped launch Run Your City Knoxville and served as co-president of the organization. The six-week program provided local youth a free introduction to running and sports, working to create an inclusive environment that was accessible to every child, regardless of ability, gender or socioeconomic background.
Tucker is an eight-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and is currently completing her master’s degree in public health. The Knoxville native plans to attend medical school after receiving her postgraduate degree.
