Young, Dr. Chris
Dr. Chris Young
- Induction:
- 2021
When Dr. Chris Young began assisting Hall of Fame team physician Dr. E.L. Clements in 1995, it began a 25-year association with Richmond Athletics. He volunteered his time, receiving no compensation for the countless hours of service to the athletic department. Dr. Young became head team physician in 1998 when Dr. Clements retired. He worked and traveled extensively with football, including with the 2008 National Championship team.
Dr. Young also established a referral network at his practice and throughout the Richmond medical community to better serve UR student-athletes. An orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, knee, and shoulder surgeries with more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Young performed hundreds of operations and treated thousands of Spider student-athletes, coaches and staff. Dr. Young retired in 2021, but his philosophy to always “treat every student-athlete like they were your own son or daughter” remains instilled with Spider Sports Medicine.
