Boise, ID (February 2022) /SPORTSWIRE WOMEN/ – Team MPI is thrilled to welcome professional triathlete and paralympic guide Jillian Elliot to the coaching team! Jillian brings a wealth of experience racing around the world. During her professional career, she specialized in non-drafting Olympic distance races. Jillian enjoyed great success in the Lifetime Fitness Series and 5150 Series, qualifying for the prestigious Hy-Vee Triathlon from 2011 to 2014.

With an impressive resume of race results, Jillian ranked among the top 50 female triathletes in the world from 2009 to 2012 and helped the USA women earn a third spot at the 2012 London Olympic triathlon team.

After enjoying a decorated racing career, Jillian became a paralympic guide for Liz Baker, going all the way to the Rio Paralympic Games in 2016 and the Tokyo Paralympic Games in 2021.
