“Throughout this track season I’ve often thought, I am so thankful for Nick Lueder. He is reliable – he is always at practice, on time, and ready to go. He is coachable – he receives feedback and implements it. He is a leader – his teammates do what he does because they trust him. He works really hard – whether we’re at a meet or at practice I know that Nick is giving all his effort to whatever he is asked to do. He is going to be immensely missed next track season but I’m so thankful for the impact he’s made on his teammates and the track program,” Track coach Linnea Dewaared said.

Not only is Nick Lueder involved at East, but he is an involved brother as well.
“Having Nick as a brother is like having your best friend and biggest competitor all in one. On one hand you have a confidant and the other wanting to hit him with a car. He challenges me to be better along with his peers and I make him question some of his decisions. I got really lucky to have Nick as my brother to be honest, we help each other whether we realize it or not. Or even want the help. I love watching him succeed and am so proud of him and his accomplishments,” junior and Nick’s sister Mackenzie Lueder said.
