Lydia Davis Bio

Davis, who is a native of Greenville, S.C., is a junior transfer from Anderson University. As a freshman, Davis was named SAC Freshman Runner of the Year. Davis also won the Division II Southeast Regional championship in the 800 as a freshman. Her sophomore year at Anderson was filled with injuries, which hindered her progress. She is healthy now and determined to continue her progress and compete well at the SEC level.

At Eastside High School, Davis was a four-year varsity runner on both the cross country and track teams. Her High school awards include All-Region, All-County and All-State for cross country and for the 800, 1,600, and 3,200 in track. In 2010, she anchored the 4×800 meter relay that won the state championship.

Davis has two sisters (22 and 12) and a brother (7) who are her biggest fans. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking, swimming, biking, and cooking. Her major is public relations with a minor in Spanish.
