Australian Athletics Para Bib #275
Eliza Jane Stankovic-Mowle (Ault-Connell) AM is a retired Paralympic wheelchair racer who has represented Australia at Paralympic Games (2004, 2020), Commonwealth Games (2002, 2006, 2018) & World Para-Athletics Championships (2002, 2006, 2019).
In 1997, at age 16 years, she nearly died from meningococcal disease, with her legs being amputated above the knee to save her life. She is the Director of Meningococcal Australia & promotes awareness in the Australian community.
In 1998 she began running with prosthetic legs & was classified as a T44 athlete but soon moved to wheelchair racing classified as T54. She first competed internationally at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. She put her athletics career on hold in 2008 to start a family with Kieran Ault-Connell.
After watching the 2016 Paralympic Games with her family she was encouraged to make a comeback after 10 years of retirement & three children. With help from friends & neighbours she resumed training & enjoyed a second international athletic career.
She announced her retirement from competitive athletics in August 2022. She serves as an ambassador for Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT & works in athlete wellbeing & para support roles.
She has been honoured with awards including:
- 2002 - Australian Junior Paralympian of the Year
- 2003 - Newcastle Young Citizen of the Year
- 2007 - Victorian State Finalist Young Australian of the Year
