September 21 ,1978 inAttleboro, MA ) is an Americanpair skater . With partnerKatie Orscher , he is the 2005 U.S. National Champion.Biography
Lucash was brought together with Orscher because he was searching for a new partner, and he remembered Katie, so he gave her a call. They are both clockwise skaters and only a small portion of skaters skate in that direction. They skate at the
ISCC inSimsbury, CT .In 2005, they won the gold medal at the
U.S. Figure Skating Championships . The 2005-2006 season was a difficult one for them as Katie broke her foot over the summer and they missed a great deal of training time going into their most important season ever. In January 2006 at the US National Championships in St. Louis, MO they led the pack in Pairs after the short program. After the long program, they dropped to third and missed out on making the US Olympic team by .66 points.Garrett is a die-hard
Boston Red Sox fan. On August 1, 2007, Garrett was featured on the first episode of the Red Sox themed dating showSox Appeal , in which he went on three blind dates atFenway Park during a Red Sox game against theSan Francisco Giants .Orscher and Lucash retired from competitive skating in 2006.
