An NOTC member since the mid-1970s, Elisabeth achieved racing acclaim as a Senior runner, dominating the 60-69 age group and, over a ten year period, outpacing even younger runners in the 50-59 division. She won multiple titles, including a USATF National Championship in the outdoor 5k at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. As a 65 year-old, she won the Louisiana Master 5k Championship in 23:37, besting the top time in the nation by almost a full minute. The list of running accomplishments is long, but even it is overshadowed by her personality and selfless commitment to the club. Her contemporaries remember that she showed up early to every race, helped with registration and stayed late to help with race results and post-race clean up, setting the gold standard of dedicated volunteers the club enjoys today.
