Jenna Thornber's Ellen
Dance Dare Video
Laurentian runner, Jenna Thornber, has long
had the goal of appearing on the Ellen DeGeneris show. Now,
Ellen is running a contest called "Ellen's Dance Dare"
in which viewers submit a video showing them dancing behind
unsuspecting people.
Jenna had already produced a number of Dancing for Ellen
videos (before this contest was even invented), but this
contest has inspired her to even greater heights. Her latest
Dancing for Ellen video is a masterpiece!!
So, please watch the video, and tell all your friends to
watch too. The more hits that the video gets, the greater
the chance it will be noticed by Ellen's staff. And don't
watch it at work or in class. It made me laugh so hard I
almost hurt myself.

"It was a good first competition for most of our athletes,"
said head coach, Dick Moss. We got some people qualified
for the OUA' s and we now have some baseline performances
that we can key our workouts around."
The Lady Vees' next competition is the York Open in Toronto
on February 3rd.
