E8 Spotlight: Sevi Travis
The Empire 8 Conference is full of talented student-athletes and the E8 Spotlight is one way for fans to get to know them.
Sevi Travis (Cohoes, NY/Shaker) is a freshman on the Sage College cross country team.
Why did you choose to attend Sage? I chose Sage because it is close to home and it has everything I wanted, which was a well-known Physical Therapy program and a team for me to run/compete on.
What has been the greatest part of your experience as a college athlete? The greatest part of being a college athlete is seeing how much I am capable of. With a new coach and new workouts, it leads to new goals constantly.
Who has been the most influential person during your athletic career? Why? The most influential people during my athletic career is of course my family who have supported me and encouraged me all these years. Also, my high school coach was very influential in making me a more mental runner, always telling me I was capable of more than I thought.
Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years, I hope to still be going to school at Sage continuing in the Physical Therapy program! Soon after I would like to be at a new job.
What do you like most about competing in the E8? Competing in E8 as a first-year freshman was very exciting. There is a lot of tough competition and it is very motivating to me to work even harder.
What do you do in your spare time? In my spare time, I like to just hang out with my friends and watch TV and take a lot of naps.
Top 3 things on your bucket list? Skydiving, traveling the world and adopting kids when I'm older.
What is something most people don’t know about you? Most people don't know that I like soggy cereal.
