So I was searching around the web and ran across some old articles that were written on me when I was a little younger. Here's one that was written when I was still attending ECU. It's pretty cool. It talks about my first trip to the Paralympics which was in Athens, Greece in 2004.
Name and e-mail are required.
My name is Elexis Gillette, but feel free to call me Lex. I'm a blind track and field athlete. I compete the long jump and triple jump, and I currently hold the American record in both events for totally blind athletes.
In September 2008, I represented the U.S. in the Paralympic Games in Beijing, China, and became the Paralympic Silver Medalist in the long jump.
Find me elsewhere on the Web:
