ABOUT ELLIE
When Ellie was aged six, she started Gold Coast Little Athletics and Nippers at Currumbin Surf Club and has gone undefeated in state and national beach sprints in her age group. By the age of 14, in 2017, she had already clocked 54.83 in the 400m and on the beach won the Australian under-14 flags and beach sprint titles.
Her selection in the Australian team for the 2019 World Championships aged 16 years and 268 days, made her the youngest ever Australian selected for the championships. Running a flying time of 52.0 seconds, Ellie helped the Australian team to 3:28.64 and qualification for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
She was selected for her Olympic debut in 2021, competing in the women's 4x400m relay. At the Tokyo Games Ellie split 51.85 on the third leg, helping the team to seventh place.
