Setting the Pace: Chris Strong

Chris Strong has always lived up to her name. She grew up in Thomaston, Maine– a coastal town so small that her beloved high school (Georges Valley) no longer exists, having since merged with those in other local communities. The lessons she learned there, however, have had an outsized impact on Chris. After almost losing her leg in a freak childhood accident, Chris would go on to play alongside the boys on the town’s only soccer team, long before this was a widely accepted practice. Her resilience and tenaciousness served her well as a Division I basketball standout at the University of Maine. Chris has carried these traits into adulthood, through careers in law, athletic training/coaching, and, most recently, real estate appraisal. Join our conversation with this strong, inspirational Maine woman, today on Radio Maine.
