Career
Early career
Elliott was a promising junior athlete but stepped away from the sport after moving to Dunedin to study anatomy at the University of Otago. In October 2019 Elliott ran 11.68s for 100m, her first time under 12 seconds and putting her second in the national rankings behind Zoe Hobbs.[2] In 2020 Elliott won silver medals at the New Zealand national championships in both the 100m and 200m races, before several injuries curtailed her 2021 season.[3]
Step up to 400m
In February 2022 Elliott transitioned to the 400m and won both the New Zealand national championships and the Oceania Championships. She started to close in on the national 400m record[4] and qualified for the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon.[5][6]
2023 new PBs and national record
On 28 January 2023 Elliott ran a personal best time for the 400m of 52.16 at the Cook’s Classic in Whanganui.[7] On 19 February 2023 she set a national record in the 200m running 22.81 at the International Track Meet in Christchurch. At the same meet she equalled her personal best in the 100m, winning in 11.57.[8]
