INTERVIEW WITH DANA ELLIS
AC - At what point in your career did you realize you had what it took to be an elite athlete?

DE - I began pole vaulting in my last year of high school. I never had
ambitions of making it to the elite level. I just wanted to do it for fun.
I had spent 14 years of my life training as an elite-level gymnast, and
after retiring from that sport, all I wanted was the opportunity to try
sports that my gymnastics schedule had never allowed me to have
time to try. I picked up the event (pole vault) quite quickly because
of my gymnastics background. I placed third at the 1999 Canadian
National Championships after only a year of pole vaulting. I credit
my coach Keith Heard of London, Ontario. Even after this success at
Nationals, I still wasn’t eager to try and make it to the “Big Leagueâ€Â
