Garrett Lucash (born September 21, 1978 in Attleboro, MA) is an American figure skater. He competes in pairs, and since 2001, his partner has been Katie Orscher. The team was brought together because Garrett 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 in Simsbury, CT and are coached by Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova, who are the 1994 Pairs World Champions. Their choreographers are Igor Shpilband and Elena Petrenko.
