Celebrating Success

As Luke Street reflected on 2024, he celebrated a year of both growth and overcoming challenges in his short track ice speed skating journey. Some of his highlights included:

* Making the podium at the Australian Open Championships

* Requalifying for the NZ Racing Pool at the South Island Championships

* Achieving personal bests in every distance he raced

* And the incredible opportunity to be part of the Tātai Whetū Waitaha programme!

The support Luke has received through the Tātai Whetū Waitaha programme has been invaluable in his development as an athlete. It has strengthened his confidence and helped him gain a deeper understanding of what works best for him. With access to expert guidance—including strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists, and nutritionists—Luke feels fully supported as he sets his sights on a strong season ahead.

Luke is excited about what 2025 will bring and is deeply grateful for the opportunities and support that have helped him continue to grow, both as an athlete and as an individual.

We look forward to continuing to support Luke this year.
