A teacher and co-director of the elementary program at the West Branch School in nearby Williamsport for the last 29 years, Elion brings to Bucknell a wealth of swimming knowledge and experience. In the Bison program, Elion's primary responsibility is working with the stroke group. Elion has a bachelor of arts degree in child development from Connecticut College and an MA in education from the University of Iowa. A consistent record-setter in many midwestern and central U.S. swimming championships, Elion competed in the 1962-63 U.S. National Championships. She also competed for eight years on a Central AAU (now U.S. Swimming) team, serving as captain for three years. After a two-year stint as waterfront director at Seaside Regional Center in Waterford, Conn., Elion's coaching experience included several years of age group coaching first at the Susquehanna Valley Aquatics Club and then at the Williamsport YMCA. Most recently, Elion coached at Williamsport High School from 1988-93, helping lead the team to four District IV titles. She also has plenty of experience as a volunteer coach, stroke specialist and stroke judge in the Williamsport area. Elion and her husband, BU professor Carl Milofsky, have four adult children: Jude, Nina, Tessa and Jake. |
