Lucas Makowsky
Sport: Speed Skating
Event: Long Track
Hometown: Regina
"Being from Saskatchewan and developing through the Saskatchewan sport system gave me a unique opportunity to establish a strong work ethic and a true desire to succeed. It seemed like there was always a head-wind when riding the bike in the summer, and you could always count on it being cold out on the Oval in the middle of winter. But when it came to pushing through another practice, those small obstacles made the biggest difference down the road when I moved to train at the National Training Center in Calgary. Although I train and go to University in Alberta, I have always called Saskatchewan home."
