Most recently, coach Ellenwood led the sprint, hurdle, and jump groups at the University of Maryland, where he led Caleb Dean to a school record in the 60m dash and the #2 all-time performance in the 200m during the indoor season. During the outdoor season, Dean went on to qualify for the NCAA Championship in the 400h, where he earned 2nd team All-American.

Throughout his time coaching, Ellenwood has coached and mentored thirteen NCAA Division I first-team All-Americans in sprint and hurdle events and three National Champions, one of which was a three-time champion in the sprint hurdles. Ellenwood spent two years at Mississippi State (2011-13), where he coached Thirteen All-SEC performers, twelve East Regional qualifiers, and ten NCAA final-round qualifiers. During that time at Mississippi State, Ellenwood coached DeAngelo Cherry to become an NCAA 60m champion in 2013. Before his time at Mississippi State, he led the Bethune-Cookman University men's and women's programs.

During the 2008 outdoor season, he led the women's 4x100m relay to the NCAA final round (the first women to ever compete for B-CU at the NCAA Division I Championships in track & field) and Ronnie Ash to a third-place finish in the 110h. In 2009, Ellenwood's B-CU programs made history by guiding 11 total athletes to the NCAA final round, the most from any one HBCU in NCAA Division I history. Ronnie Ash captured back-to-back NCAA sprint hurdle Championships, and the men's team captured a top-25 finish of #23 at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
