Elwin wuxuu marka hore xusuusta saaxiibtinimadiisii Dugsiga Sare ee Minnetonka. "Waxay ahayd wakhti aad u wanaagsan inaan ku korayno," ayuu yidhi. Wuxuu Minnetonka u yimid isagoo arday ah oo ka yimid Brentwood, Long Island, ee New York.

Elwin waxa uu MHS ku lahaa xirfad ciyaareed cajiib ah. Kubadda cagta, wuxuu ahaa orod aad u wanaagsan oo dib ugu soo laabashada Skippers intii lagu jiray xilliyadii 1974 iyo 1975. Awoodiisa ciyaarista kubbadda cagta waxay ka dhigtay inuu boos ka helo kooxda kubbadda cagta ee Jaamacadda Minnesota Gophers halkaas oo Elwin uu kula ciyaaray Tony Dungy iyo Marion Barber Jr.

In orodka, Elwin waxa uu ahaa mid cajiib ah. "Anigoo ah tababarihii hore ee wiilasha halkan MHS in track, waa inaan ugu yeeraa orodyahanka ugu awooda badan ee aan waligey haysano," ayuu yiri tababare Joe Lane. Waa cayaaryahanka kaliya ee lab ah ee taariikhda MHS-ta ku guulaysta koobabka gobolka shaqsi ahaan saddex jeer: orodka 100-yard ee 1975 iyo 1976, iyo 220-yard dash ee 1976. Waxa kale oo uu xirtay horyaalkii 76 4x220 oo dhameeyay labaad ee gobolka 220-yard dash '75 iyo boodada dheer ee '76.

Elwin waxa uu dhaliyay 32 ka mid ah 33 1/2 dhibcood ee loo fidiyay wiilashii 1976 ee ku kulmay gobolka si ay ugu dhawaadaan hal gacan in ay ku guulaystaan horyaalka gobolka kaliya ee Minnetonka. Waqtigiisii deyrka ee loo beddelay cabbirro ayaa ka dhigay orodyahanka 100 iyo 200 mitir ee ugu dhaqsaha badan taariikhda dugsiga. Kooxdiisa gudbinta 4x200 ayaa wali loo aqoonsan yahay inay yihiin kuwa ugu dhaqsaha badan taariikhda dugsiyada. Booddiisa dheer ee 22'8" weli waa kan labaad ee ugu fiican taariikhda dugsiga. Elwin wuxuu sii waday inuu u ordo Gophers, sidoo kale. Kooxdiisa 4x100 ee mitir waxay haysay rikoorka Gophers ku dhawaad 20 sano ka hor inta aan la jebin horraantii 2000-meeyadii. "Elwin wuxuu ahaa geesigeyga," ayuu yiri Chris Cohen, oo ah alum iyo madaxa tababaraha kooxda Minnetonka, "wuxuu ahaa mid aan ku daydo, wuxuuna ii qaabeeyey ciyaaryahan ahaan."

Elwin waxa uu xasuustaa in Minnetonka uu ku guulaystey tartankii orodka ee gobolka in uu ahaa muujinta xirfadiisa ciyaaraha fudud, iyo in loo magacaabo Grand Marshall Parade Championship. Waxa uu si degdeg ah u ammaanayaa Jim Dirks oo ku daray dhibcooyinka boodboodka sare, iyo xubnaha kooxda 200-mitir ee isu-gudbinta. Wuxuu ku qiimeeyaa Head Track Coach Lane iyo Sprint Coach Huvlin inay ka caawiyeen inuu noqdo ciyaaryahankii uu ahaa. Elwin sidoo kale waxaa loo magacaabay labada ciyaaryahan ee ugu wanaagsan iyo labiska ugu wanaagsan fasalka sare.

Elwin waxa uu sanado u shaqaynayay injineer ahaan jidka tareenada, waxana uu hadda u shaqeeyaa Navy Federal Credit Union, oo ah kan ugu wayn aduunka, halkaas oo uu ku takhasusay ururinta. Waxa uu si mutadawacnimo ah ugu shaqeeya Kaniisadda Baabtiisaha Mount Hope ee Fredericksburg, Virginia, halkaas oo uu madax ka ahaa Libaaxyada Da'da yar iyo Guriga Martigelinta, oo uu ku heeso Hobolada Ragga.
