The House of Representatives of Vermont has passed a concurrent resolution congratulating Elinor Purrier St. Pierre, a runner from Montgomery, for her remarkable achievements in athletics, particularly at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The resolution highlights her dedication to both her sport and her family life, as she balances her running career with her responsibilities on the family farm alongside her husband and young son. Elle's journey in athletics began at Richford High School and continued at the University of New Hampshire, where she earned multiple All-American honors and set impressive records, including the American record for the Wanamaker Mile and the indoor two-mile.
In addition to her numerous accolades, Elle Purrier St. Pierre has represented the United States in the Olympics, being named to the Olympic teams in both 2020 and 2024. At the Tokyo Olympics, she finished tenth in the women's 1500m final, and she improved her performance to eighth place in the same event at the Paris Olympics. The resolution expresses pride in her accomplishments and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to her, recognizing her as an inspiring figure in Vermont's athletic community.
