Eleanor Patterson’s Olympic dream was ignited when she attended a Little Athletics meeting as an “eight or nine year old” and found herself feeling in awe of the high jump event. Even though she had no idea of the work that would be required to achieve it, Patterson committed herself to representing Australia at the Olympics.
The youngster from the small township of Leongatha felt as though she’d taken a major step towards her dream the following week when she jumped 1.03m to break the club record. The eight year old’s journey had started.
She recalls the impact of her primary school teacher, Mr Hughes, in her early development by giving up his free time at lunch to teach students the fundamentals of athletics. Little could Mr Hughes have known Patterson would one day be truly top of the class!
