Sydney Elliott to Replace Brock on Team USA Athletes’ Commission

Dressage

U.S.A.

American eventing rider Sydney Elliott has been elected to serve on the Team USA Athletes’ Commission. She will be replacing 2016 U.S. Olympic team rider Ali Brock.

This leaves the U.S. Athlete's Commission without any representative for dressage.

Sydney Elliott

Elections were held to select two new equestrian athletes to serve on the Team USA Athletes’ Commission (AC). After tabulating the votes, Sydney Elliott was elected to serve as the USAAC representative, and Sharon White was elected to serve as the Alternate USAAC representative.

In their roles, which will run from January 2025 until 2029, both Elliott and White will serve on the US Equestrian Board of Directors as Athlete Representatives. Elliott and White have both represented the U.S. on the international stage as part of the U.S. Eventing Team.

Team USA AC serves as the representative group and voice of Team USA athletes. Team USA AC is responsible for broadening communication between the USOPC and active athletes and serves as a source of input and advice to the USOPC board of directors.
