Vermont Olympian Elle Purrier St. Pierre Makes History, AGAIN

Dear Fellow Vermonter,

No doubt about it. These are difficult times. But to my mind, that is all the more reason for us to come together as Vermonters and celebrate important moments and victories when they happen.

And that includes Vermont’s own Elle Purrier St. Pierre’s spectacular race this past weekend, where she won gold for Team USA at the 2024 World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. She ran the women’s 3,000 meter in 8 minutes, 20.87 seconds – breaking the American record and the championship record, less than a month after she set the U.S. women’s record for the indoor mile.

And all of this she has done less than a year after giving birth to her beautiful son.

I hope you’ll take a moment to watch the video above of Elle’s race last weekend, and join me in congratulating Elle on her remarkable accomplishment.

You make Vermont proud!
