He's a teacher, an athletic trainer, a
graduate student and an athlete.
And chances are pretty good that 22
year-old Trevor Davies has run through
your neighborhood. Trevor, a native of
Johannesburg, South Africa, began his
amateur running career during his
sophomore year of high school and has
participated in more than 35 10Ks and 5Ks.
He also teaches three running classes at the
UO, including Jog/Run and Running II and
is a student athletic trainer at North Eugene
High School where he works closely with
injuries of all types. He plans to use this
experience along with his Master's in
Exercise and Movement Science (Sports
Medicine emphasis) to bring Athletic
Training home to South Africa. "Currently,
South Africa has no athletic trainers," he
explains.
When he's not working,
Trevor runs 6 to 7 miles per day
and rides his bike 14 miles per
day to and from work. What
keeps him motivated to log all
those miles? His running
friends. Trevor's advice to
anyone taking up running: Find
people who run at the same
pace, and go together. Not
only is it safer, but it can really
help you stick with it!

registering tor a class taught by the ^
master, check the fall schedule of classes.
