Travis Airola is in his first season as a member of the Poets cross country team. He was born in Sonora, CA. He started running when he was ten because his brother and sister both ran and they both said that it was fun. He went on to run for Bret Harte Valley High School. He is planning on majoring in Engineering and hopes to some day work as an Engineer. He credits his success to his parents, coaches, teachers, other team mates and competition.
