[7] Emery Lehman reignited his career with Marquette’s ACHA Division II Hockey Team.

At age nine, Lehman saw a poster claiming speed skating could help improve hockey skills.

[10] In 2010, he began training with 2x Olympian Jeff Klaiber (who would coach Lehman at the Olympic Games and through the 2015-16 season).

[9] On December 27, Lehman, skating in the last of 10 pairs of athletes, completed the 5000 meters in a time of 6:25.90 at the US Olympic Trials.

Kuck re-took the lead at the final turn, but Lehman edged him by seven-hundredths of a second, about two blade lengths, at the finish line.

"[6] Lehman's time of 13:22.77 improved his personal best by seven seconds,[6] and placed him first overall with one pairing – Patrick Meek and Edwin Park – remaining.

[3] Lehman trained at the Pettit National Ice Center and was coached by Eric Cepuran from 2016-2018.

[14][15] After taking a season off to enroll in school full time, in the 2019-20 season, Lehman made a coaching change to train under Gabriel Girard, who US Speed Skating has since hired as the long-distance national team head coach.

The season started strong, and Lehman saw very positive results in the fall at World Cups and skating marathons in Holland.

Later that season, despite dealing with a very serious virus in the weeks leading up, Lehman placed 3rd in the 5000m at the 2020 Four-Continents Championship, held at the Pettit National Ice Center.

A month later, at the 2020 ISU World Single Distance Championships, held at the Utah Olympic Oval, Lehman placed 16th in the 1500m finishing with a personal best time of 1:44.25.

Lehman also competed in the team pursuit event alongside teammates Ian Quinn and Ethan Cepuran, finishing in 5th place with a time of 3:38.51.

Since graduating from Marquette University in spring 2020, Lehman has moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, to train on the US speed skating national team program.
