Since graduating from the University of Oklahoma last December with a master’s degree in management information systems (MIS), Trevon Holt of Bixby has been on a whirlwind journey.
In January, Holt competed with OU’s co-ed cheer team in his final national competition at the Wide World of Sports facility in Orlando, Florida.
It capped off a successful co-ed cheer career at OU as Holt was reportedly the only OU co-ed cheer to win the top award each year – Outstanding First Year Member as a freshman, Sooner M.A.G.I.C. Values Award as a sophomore, Leadership Award as a junior and MVP Award as a senior.
Holt, the son of Chris Holt of Bixby and Darla Holt of Broken Arrow, then accepted a position with Weaver Accounting in Dallas, Texas, starting in February and worked at the firm until early August, when he resigned to accept a teaching position in OU’s Michael F. Price College of Business.
He began his current position as an MIS instructor on August 15.
Holt was a two-sport athlete at Bixby, where he played on three state championship football teams and served as a co-captain of the football team during his senior season. He was also a starter on the baseball team.
He is the grandson of Ron and Becky Holt of Bixby and the great-grandson of the late Walon Dale Holt and Choctaw Nation elder Gladys Bowden Holt of Stillwater, who formerly lived in Thackerville and Ardmore. He has numerous relatives in Love County and Carter County.
“I appreciated all the support I received from the Choctaw Nation while in high school and at the University of Oklahoma,” Holt said. “That assistance made it possible for me to reach my goals.”
