Career Highlights:
- Placed 6th in the 1K at the Dual County Championships

- Competed in the inaugural B.A.A. Invitational Mile in 2009
Elza’s friend and teammate Kathleen Mello, who is also running in the B.A.A. Invitational Mile, was the one who actually persuaded her to get involved with cross country. Elza used to dance at the Boston Ballet School. She has a passion for running and whether she runs competitively or not after high school, she will always pursue it. Her training rituals include staying positive and blocking out everything around her so she maintains focus. She is currently a junior at Boston Latin.
