INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Cleveland State junior cross country runner Audrey Piotrowski and junior tennis player Steven Wipprecht recently volunteered their time to help children from the Forest Manor Multi-Service Center as part of a Horizon League Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) community service project.

Piotrowski and Wipprecht were joined by 12 other student-athletes from Horizon League institutions, as well as an advisor and several league office staff members at the outing, which took place at Wes Montgomery Park.

"The experience working with the kids was a lot of fun," Piotrowski said. The kids were very energetic and you can tell that they wanted to be with us. What I expected was nothing compared to what I got out of it." The Forest Manor Multi-Service Center was established in 1973 by area residents to help address the human and social needs of the Forest Manor community.

Each Horizon League institution was represented by at least one student-athlete at the annual SAAC meeting and community service event.
