The Queen Origin Story
Queen River Athletics was founded by former NCAA Division 1 track and field athlete, research scientist, and wellness advocate Dr. Ashley Lewis. Born and raised in Boston, MA, Ashley fell in love with running at age 12 and quickly set her sights on competing at a high level while also pursuing academic excellence.
As a student-athlete, she became a multiple-time Atlantic 10 Conference champion and NCAA regional qualifier in the 800m. Her drive on the track was matched by her intellectual ambition, ultimately leading her to earn a PhD in Biomedical Data Science from Stanford University.
While at Stanford, Ashley began working with young athletes in the Bay Area and discovered a deep passion for coaching, mentorship, and helping others build confidence through sport. Queen River Athletics is the result — a space where high-level training meets personal growth, rooted in care, intention, and the belief that athletics can transform lives.
