Personal: Elle’s most memorable sporting achievement is winning a national championship in 2004 in the “Blonde Boat” for Brooks School…She chose rowing after watching a friend compete at the Head of the Charles and hopes to compete in the regatta when she is 90…Elle loves to visit her sister, Jessamine, in Bangor, Maine to watch Pride and Prejudice (the BBC version), as well as to go to the local farmer’s market…While training, she always wears the gold bangles she was given on her high school exchange to Uganda…Elle has a pet guinea pig named Bubba Sal.
