Five long years after debuting at the world championships as a raw relay runner, sprint star Ella Connolly will take on many of the world's fastest women at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
Now 21 and in the form of her life, Connolly will tackle the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.
The Queenslander was among 53 athletes added on Tuesday to an 85-strong track and field team for the Games beginning in Birmingham in late July.
