MONTGOMERY, VT - MARCH 15: Elinor Purrier, who recently won the 2018 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in the women's mile run, sits at her home in Montgomery, VT on March 15, 2018. Purrier grew up milking 30 dairy cows at the family fairy farm each morning, before showering and heading to school. She started running in eighth grade. After school, Purrier would run the mile and a half from tiny Richford High School, touch the bottom of Canada, and then run back. Shed run through picturesque Montgomery, the covered-bridge capital of Vermont, and sometimes attack the steep 6-mile mountain road up to Jay Peak. Through hard work, talent, and toughness, she became a 10-time All-American at UNH, competing in the mile, 3,000-meter steeplechase (outdoors), and cross-country.
