Hi, my name is Mateo Guevara-Derber, I'm a Youth National Team member at USA Luge. My home base is in Brillion, WI and I travel for training and competitions to Lake Placid, NY and Park City, UT.

I discovered luge in May 2023 at a USA Luge White Castle Slider Search, from there I was fortunate to have been invited to a screening camp in January 2024 at the USA Luge National Headquarters and the Lake Placid Olympic Track! In May 2024 I found out that I had been selected to be a part of the team!

Since my training is not funded at my level, I am raising funds to help pay for expenses associated with my training such as travel, athlete room and board at Lake Placid Olympic Paralympic Training Center, track time and equipment, including helmet with shield, speedsuit, booties and gloves with spikes.

I also spent last summer at our local farmers market selling hand carvings and 3D printed items to help with the cost!

I would appreciate your consideration to contribute to my athletic training fund!
