Many V-103 FM listeners are quite familiar with Ryan Cameron’s sidekick, Elle Duncan. It’s her skillful articulation, cheeky personality and ability to go toe-to-toe with the fellas on sports statistics that keeps listeners captivated during the afternoon drive, from 2 to 6 p.m.
But there are quite a few things about this Atlanta-area native that you may not know. For one, when Duncan isn’t on the air or doing sideline reporting for the Atlanta Hawks, she’s feeding the homeless on Courtland Street and working with several charities, including; Habitat for Humanity, Go Red for Women, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and the Enchanted Closet, collecting prom dresses for girls in need and finding sponsors.
And, Duncan isn’t seeking any accolades.
She maintains a deep admiration for her sister, Kelli, who was born with a severe hearing loss, but is now enjoying a career as a Clayton County firefighter. “She’s in the auditory clinic commercial that runs on channel 11 driving a fire truck. It is so cute.” Duncan continues, “She runs into burning buildings and she can’t even hear. She’s incredible and amazing.”
Growing up, the sisters were heavily involved in sports. “I love, love sports. My sister and I participated in three or four sports at a time … softball, cheerleading, basketball, gymnastics, competitive swimming. We are a sports-oriented family. When we weren’t playing sports, we were watching it on television. My fondest memory while growing up is eating wings and watching football with my family. I’m a big fan,” she says. –yvette caslin
