Ed Elder was honored Saturday, May 2 with the 2015 Shoreline Track and Field Invitational Dedication.

Ed is a graduate of the University of Oregon with a degree in Physical Education and a Master of Science in Health Education. After becoming certified in 1982, he worked as the Athletic Trainer at the University of Oregon from 1983-1995.

Ed (‘Doc’) joined the Shoreline School District in 1999 as the Shorecrest High School Athletic Trainer. Most afternoons you can find Ed at Shorecrest High School treating student athletes’ injuries. He works magic to get them healthy and back out to the playing field.

Many evenings you will also see Ed at football, basketball, wrestling, soccer or track events. Sometimes he can even be seen at Shorewood events because his wife Nancy is Vice Principal at Shorewood and his son Brian will soon be a T-Bird.

When he is not treating Shoreline students, Ed is one of the Athletic Trainers with the USA Track and Field team since 1995. Ed has literally been all over the world to assist their athletes; Russia, Mexico, Qatar, Spain and France …. are just a few of the places he has traveled with the team.

The USA Track and Field honored Ed with the prestigious Dr. C. Harmon Brown Award for Sports Medicine and Science in 2011. Ed is the founder and owner of Integrated Manual Therapy here in Shoreline.
