LOCAL SPEED SKATER FINDS HIS STRIDE IN LONG TRACK
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.
