Ellenwood Signs with Badgers
Long time Langley Mustangs track & field standout Georgia Ellenwood has accepted a full ride scholarship to the University of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Badgers compete in the Big 10 conference in Division 1 of the NCAA. The University has approximately 42,000 students and is located in the state capitol of Madison, Wisconsin.
Immediately after signing on February 6th, Georgia flies to Phoenix Arizona, where she will be participating in the Canadian Olympic Development Camp for Rio 2016. She is currently the top ranked junior heptathlete in Canada. Georgia’s goal for this summer is to qualify for Canada’s junior national team and compete at the junior Pan-American Games in Lima, Peru in August. She will start at UW in September.
Georgia has been a member of the Langley Mustangs for the past 7 years. “I am so thankful to my coaches Kim Chapdelaine and Dwayne Lotnick for everything they have done for me over such a long time”, she said. Chapdelaine is happy to see Georgia move on to a reputable program like Wisconsin. “I have had the pleasure of coaching Georgia Ellenwood over a 5 year period. Georgia is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and dedicated athlete. Her goal from the beginning has been to represent Canada and sign at a prestigious NCAA university. Georgia is such a highly motivated athlete, and Wisconsin is very fortunate to sign her to their school. I am proud of her and look forward to supporting her on her new journey.” Mustangs President Brent Dolfo added “Georgia is a phenomenal talent. Her dominant performances as a high school athlete rank right up there with former Mustangs Debbie Brill and Leah Pells, who both competed for Canada in multiple Olympic Games”. Chapdelaine and Dolfo were both on hand to watch Georgia sign on Wednesday.
