Oxford’s Treva Williams

By Hayden Swope

Treva Williams, a volleyball athlete from Oxford, was chosen as the Shelter Insurance Athlete of the Month.

“Being chosen as the Shelter Insurance Agent Athlete of the Month is a great honor,” Williams said. “I am so grateful for the opportunity to not only represent myself as a person, but my school as well.”

Over the offseason, Williams has not only been working on her abilities on the court, but also the leadership role her and her teammates have this year.

“As a volleyball team, we have been putting in extra work at practice with some of our starters,” Williams said. “I believe it is extremely important to encourage and challenge our underclassmen, making them stronger volleyball players.”

Coming off of a tough injury last year, Williams has a big goal of making a comeback this season.

“This year I have been focusing on making sure my timing for my hitting is right,” Williams said. “I have also been focusing on strengthening my knee because a year ago I tore my ACL. I have been working hard to get back to where I was.”

Williams will be attending Emporia State to further her career goals.

“My future plans are to go to Emporia State University for social work because I was to help kids have the lives they deserve,” Williams said.
