Christina Scherwin is the chief operating officer at the Westport Weston Family YMCA.
She’s perfect for the role.
A 2-time Olympian in the javelin for her native Denmark, Christina competed in the 2004 and ’08 Olympics. She was a finalist at the 200t World Championships.
In 2002 she was inducted into the NCAA Hall of Fame. Christina has also served on the Danish Olympic Athlete and World Athletics Commissions.
The other day, Christina and I chatted at the Westport Library about her years as a competitive athlete, her work at the Y, and much more. Click here or below, for our wide-ranging conversation.
Christina is a rock star! Thanks for showcasing her!
Did you happen to ask about if there is a plan for The Red Barn building?
They are working on it. Nothing finalized or public yet.
Dan,
My sources tell me that Gold’s Gym may be looking at the Red Barn. Imagine working out in front of a roaring fire and within a block of the “Y.” With their experience, the Backiels could bring a real bowling alley back to Westport. It would become a Mecca for the Spandex inclined.
