City College names Lydia Travis athletic director

New York City, New York - 
Lydia Travis, a sports management expert with several professional affiliations, is The City College of New York’s new director of athletics. Her appointment is effective March 12.

“Lydia brings expertise and experience for both the academic and athletic facets of our student-athletes' college lives, and that's perfect for a place like City College,” said CCNY    President Vince Boudreau. “We are serious about supporting, and enjoying, athletic competition on this campus, but must never lose sight of the bigger picture: that our students must graduate with a successful academic record and a bright future before them.”

He added that Travis was the right person to build these values more deeply into the  program.

“I would like to thank President Boudreau, Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Wendy Thornton and the search committee for entrusting me to lead the City College of New York’s Athletics Program and serve the CCNY community,” said Travis. “I am eager to begin working with the talented coaches and staff who bring a wealth of knowledge to the program as we contribute to the development of our student athletes in and out of the playing arena.  I also look forward to engaging our alumni, campus and local communities to build on the amazing history and traditions of Beaver athletics.”

Travis is a member of the Women Leaders in College Sports, the National Association of Athletic Compliance and serves on the Minority Opportunity Athletics Association Membership Committee.  She joins CCNY from Queens College, CUNY's only NCAA Division II athletic program, where she was assistant athletics director for student-athlete performance.

Before her tenure at Queens, Travis served as assistant athletic director for internal relations and senior woman administrator at Kentucky State University. There she oversaw several sports programs and strengthened multiple processes to maximize the effectiveness of the athletic academic support services area. 

She also created a student-athlete peer mentoring program and KSU’s senior seminar series, designed to prepare senior student-athletes for careers after athletics. Under her direction, KSU earned three Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Academic Team Championships and held its highest department grade point average in over a decade.

Travis is a graduate of Virginia State University where she earned BA and master’s degrees in sports management.

Sailing Opens Spring Slate with Fourth Place Finish at Georgetown Team Race

By Sean Engel, Sports Information Director
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Maritime sailing team opened the spring portion of their 2017-18 season as the team took part in the Georgetown Team Race on the Potomac River. Maritime took fourth place in the six-team field, finishing the weekend with a 2-3 overall record aboard the fleet of Z420s and FJ boats.

The first day of competition was not contested due to poor weather conditions. However, the team returned to action on Sunday afternoon for one round robin against the other five teams in the field.

Maritime opened the weekend against Navy and picked up the 1-3-6 win against the Midshipmen. The Privateers improved to 2-0 with a 1-2-3 sweep over UPenn as the Privateers took care of the Quakers. The Privateers fell in their next three flights with losses to Cornell, Hobart/William Smith and Old Dominion, dropping their record to 2-3.

Old Dominion also finished the first round robin with a 2-3 overall record, forcing a tiebreaker round between the Privateers and the Monarchs. The Privateers picked up the 1-2-5 victory over the Monarchs to capture fourth place at the event.

Maritime had a full complement of sailors at the event with seniors Zach Hill (Annapolis, Md./Broadneck) and Timmy Montera (Bellmore, N.Y./Bellmore JFK) as their first entry. Junior John Lawless (Rochester, N.Y./McQuaid Jesuit) returned to the team after a semester away in the fall, and teamed up with sophomore Aidan Molesky (Annapolis, Md./Broadneck). Juniors Kyle Comerford (Annapolis, Md/Annapolis) and Skye Miller (Congers, N.Y./Clarkstown North) rounded out the Maritime lineup at the event.

Earning the victory at the event was Hobart/William Smith with a 4-1 record, while Cornell took second at 4-1, but fell in a tiebreaker with HWS. Navy took third at 3-2, while Old Dominion had a 2-3 record for fifth place, followed by UPenn in sixth at 0-5.

Maritime returns to competition next weekend with a pair of events as the team will take part in the Wollum Team Race hosted by Christopher Newport, as well as the St. Mary's (Md.) Team Race in Maryland.
