Elite Sports and Fitness is pleased to welcome Tara DiLuca aboard as the newest contributor to the blog. She’ll be blogging under the name ‘fit law girl.’ Tara is a high-energy, high-achieving person – to put it mildly. While working as a litigation lawyer, she’s won 1st place in the women’s 55 meter hurdles at the Colgate Women’s Games, Madison Square Gardens, every year since 2007 and just recently placed 1st in the 100 meter hurdle event at the 2009 USATF East Regional Track & Field Outdoor Championships, amongst other achievements.
She has also competed in NPC (National Physique Committee) and INBF (International Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation) as a Figure Competitor. We’re all looking forward to reading her tips on training, competing and balancing a demanding professional life with a high-intensity workout schedule.

I couldn’t be more proud of my cousin Tara. This article does not even begin to explore all the achievements Tara has accomplished at such a young age. I am very proud of her as is everyone that comes to meet this talented, brilliant and humorous young lady. Congrats girl, you deserve the world!
The picture does not due Tara justice (No legal pun intended). During these track events the competition was always watching if learning how she gets her stride and speed. The younger women watch in awe and you can see the motivation building in them. The guys, their jaws just dropped when the gun went off.
I have met Tara and I always want to get moving when we are done talking. If you need someone who can lead by example, Tara is the trainer you want.
See you next spring!
