LOCAL SPEED SKATER FINDS HIS STRIDE
IN LONG TRACK

Dustin Miller
February 24, 2012
By: Ryan McCracken, Record Staff

Last year speed skater Dustin Miller suffered a back injury and a concussion that led to a drastic change in his skating career, for the better.

Miller, who had exclusively skated short-track since he began speed skating in 1998, was training in Europe with a Dutch team in May when he suffered the back injury. A few months later he took a fall at a training camp in Fort St. John, B.C., that resulted in a concussion, leaving him off the ice from mid-July to mid-August.

MILLER WINS FOUR MEDALS IN CALGARY

March 19, 2012

It was a big week for former Cambridge Speed Skating club member Dustin Miller.

At the Oval Finale and Canada Cup 4 long track speed skating competition in Calgary, Miller won two gold medals in the 500-metre events, as well as a silver and bronze in the 1,000-metre competitions.

The Kitchener native set a personal best time last Thursday with 34.76 seconds for the 500-metre gold, before winning gold again on the weekend in 35.05 seconds. In the 1,000-metre races, Miller set a personal best time of one minute, 8.78 seconds, a day after winning silver in the first 1,000-metre event.

  • Derrick Campbell ('98 Olympic Gold Medalist)
  • Kevin Crockett ('98 Olympic Bronze Medalist)
  • Cindy Overland ('98 & '02 Olympian)
  • Amanda Overland ('06 Silver Medalist).
