She concluded her summer long course season with an eighth-place showing in the mile at Phillips 66 Nationals.<\/p>\n<p>A true distance specialist, Travis has seen great success in open water swimming.\u00a0As a member of the United States National Team for Open Water, she earned gold the 7.5K at the 2018 U.S. Open Water Nationals and finished fifth in the 10K.
