EVENT - SKELETON

HEIGHT 175 cm WEIGHT 80 kg

Luke Schulz decided to try out for the skeleton team after watching the 2006 Olympics and has quickly risen in the sport. He grew up on a farm in rural North Dakota and attended the United States Naval Academy for a year before transferring to Minnesota State-Moorhead. He ran track at the naval academy and played football and ran track at MSUM before switching to triathlons. His favorite career moment so far was taking second overall in the America's Cup circuit.
