Kevin Elliott

I am a Track and Field athlete who specializes in the 800 meter distance. I used to run for the Nike Farm Team, but now I am in the process of moving to Eugene, Oregon to start to train with an elite track program. I am still under the guidance of coach Frank Gagliano and will continue to run for NIKE. I have been running since high school and have never given up on my dream to make an Olympic Team. Like many athletes I have been plagued with injuries over the years but have continued to make progress within the sport. I have been real close to making a USA team but haven't yet. Staying healthy is the key to success. I continue to love the sport and have the passion and desire to compete against the best in the world. I believe these characteristics set me up to accomplish my dream - walking around the Olympic Stadium in Bejing in 2008.
