HUMAN INTEREST


Emilie was involved in many sports at an early age – from soccer to mountain biking…she began competing in athletics at age 14, first as a multi-event athlete then turning her focus toward distance running… winning her first national junior cross country title in 1997 was her breakthrough on the national scene… soon she landed her first junior national team – the 1998 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, where she finished 10th, one of the best placings ever by a Canadian athlete at this event.
Emilie is from a small city in Quebec… she developed a interest toward nature and animals, which lead her to enroll in Biological Sciences… she moved to Quebec in 2001 to train and study at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC, where Mike Lonerhan began coaching her… she finished 2nd in the 2001 National Cross Country Championships when she hit the senior scene... by the next summer, she was ranked in the Canadian top three in three different track events and she claimed the 2002 national 1500m champion title… in 2001 and 2002, Emilie also competed in the NAIA American universities league which lead to a NAIA national cross country record. 
In 2003, she became known on the international scene with a 13th place finish at IAAF World Cross Country which was followed by a Canadian 5km Road Record. During the summer season, she became the first Canadian women to ever run under 15:00 for 5000m which she did at World Championships in Athletics breaking National 5000m record and ending up in 12th place. In 2003, she decided to stop competing in the NAIA and focus on National teams and professional races for ADIDAS. Her first IAAF title came when she lead Team Canada to get the bronze medal on the senior short course race (4km) at the 2004 World Cross Country Championships. This medal is the first earn by Canada in cross-country since 1983. 
Her supportive family includes two younger sisters, Véronique and Marie-Christine, and her parents, Nicole and François, who are French Canadian… Nicole was a former professional singer… Emilie loves reading and being surrounded by nature… her website: http://www.emiliemondor.com .
