With the 2022-23 academic year, Luke Hammond enters his third year as Assistant Coach of Alpine Skiing.
Originally hailing from Rangeley, Maine, Hammond treks across the country from Sugar Bowl Academy in Norden, California. For four years he coached both men's and women's groups across all age levels. “I am thrilled to be a member of the Colby community,” Hammond states. "To have the opportunity to coach hard working, dedicated student-athletes who have the drive to succeed both athletically and academically at the NCAA level is inspiring.”
As a junior racer, Hammond attended Rangeley High School and Carrabassett Valley Academy where he was the Eastern High School Ski Racing Champion. He also excelled in baseball, and pursued a collegiate playing career that first took him to Long Island University (NCAA Division I) before settling at the University of Southern Maine. At USM, his team won the NCAA Division III New England Championship, advancing to eventual be the National Runner-up.
Outside of ski racing, Hammond works as a fly fishing and hunting guide, splitting time in both Maine and Alaska. While in Maine, he makes his home in Rangeley.
