JY Pi - Tuesday, May 17th, 2022

JY Pi

JY refers to Jen Young. Jen was a CrossFitter in Burlington, ON at CrossFit Altitude. A special person, who truly loved the CrossFit community with all her heart. She would geek out on analytic numbers, she loved cats, and wrote WODPress for Sweat RX Magazine. After she was diagnosed with cervical cancer Jen created a foundation called Love the Snatch, which included a Masters Competition that carried on for years after her death.

On Sunday, May 17th, 2015 Jen lost her battle with cervical cancer at the age of 31. For some of us, we were lucky enough to know JY and to even call her our friend. Jen’s passing came the weekend before the 2015 East Regionals. Her passing hit the Canada East CrossFit community hard. She was a bright light, she was a true weekend warrior CrossFitter, and competed in many local competitions. A hashtag was created after Jen’s passing #JenisCanadaEast, the first event that year at the 2015 East Regional was Randy, a snatch event, to honour Jen all the Canadian women competing wore Love the Snatch shirts. It was a pretty powerful moment to watch these ladies walk on the floor on honouring Jen. Whether they knew her personally or not, they were taking time to honour and celebrate her.

Since Jen’s passing we have done her JY Pi workout every year, including two years virtually on zoom. While most of our current members won’t know who Jen was, it’s important to us to continue honouring her, and to introduce knew CrossFitters to who she was. Honouring someone through a workout is what CrossFitters do best.
