Natural Track Luge, in the News

Members of the 2025 U.S. Natural Track Luge Team traveled in Europe for international World Cup competition December 2024 through February 2025.  In addition to individual achievements, their sustained effort earned the United States of America overall sixth place in the world nations ranking, as well as new friendships and goodwill along the way.  For more details and to follow all members of the team, check out the team's Facebook page and see the US Natural Luge team website.

The 2025 season included a World Cup racing series and also a World Championship race that is only held every two years.  Congratulations to all the US athletes, and particularly to U.P. native Katie Cookman who achieved 6th in the U23 women's class at the World Championship.
