LAKE PLACID — USA Luge closed out the season this past weekend with the Masters Start Competition at the USA Luge Start Facility.

The National Team celebrated its 14 World Cup medals and seven overall World Cup results in the top 10. Season highlights included podium finishes at the 2024 World Championships and 2024 Junior World Championships.

Due to warm weather conditions, the Masters National Championship was canceled.
