Joshua Huiet of Kennesaw State football, Kenadie Singleton of women's track and field and Ema Baraniakova of women's tennis each garnered Conference USA Spirit of Service awards. The award honors student-athletes for outstanding community service as well as stellar classroom and athletic performance.
Huiet, a senior punter for the Owls in 2025, contributed to the community through Team Impact. Huiet made special team member Liam feel included as part of KSU football, spending time with Liam and his family, attending his birthday party, bowling outings, visiting him at school and taking him out for ice cream. Huiet also shared his punting skills with Liam's kickball team.
Singleton, a junior sprinter at KSU, engaged with her community at Mission 1:27 Adventure Center, the Atlanta Track Club and the Omicron Iota Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc.
Baraniakova volunteered as a tennis coach with the Atlanta Youth Tennis and Education Foundation, an organization providing free and low-cost tennis programs for kids in kindergarten through eighth grade.
