Dan Weinstein '03: Go Speed Racer Go

"I like to think of it as short track being more like bike race," explains Weinstein. "There are a lot of head games and strategy."

Weinstein's choice to focus on short track is mostly out of necessity. Short-track courses are easily converted from hockey rinks. The nearest long track is at Lake Placid, while Weinstein trains at the Skating Club of Boston.

But Weinstein is not dismissing long track as a possibility, despite the obvious inconveniences.

"I'm leaving the option open to come back to long track."

Weinstein, however, believes that things have worked out well so far.
