“I’m honored to join US Speedskating at this very exciting time for the sport,” Whewell said. “I look forward to getting to know everyone associated with one of the elite National Governing Bodies - the staff, athletes, members, alumni and volunteers. With a very talented team already in place, I can’t wait for us to tell US Speedskating’s story.”
