Swimming careeredit
Lucas qualified for the men's 200 m individual medley at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by clearing a FINA A-standard entry time of 2:01.94 from the Olympic trials in Sydney.[6][7][8] He challenged seven other swimmers on the seventh heat, including top medal favorite Michael Phelps. Lucas raced to seventh place by 0.37 of a second behind three-time Olympian Tamás Kerékjártó of Hungary in 2:02.12, but missed the semifinals by a hundredth of a second (0.01), as he placed seventeenth overall in the preliminaries.[9][10]
Lucas sought his bid to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He finished second behind Leith Brodie in 2:01.84 at the Olympic trials, but failed to attain a FINA A-cut of 2:01.40, just 0.34 of a second short of his entry time.[12] On the same year, Lucas was honoured for his "Speedo Services to the Australian Swimming Team" at the Telstra Swimmer of the Year Awards in Sydney, following his retirement from the sport.[13]
In 2011, Lucas was inducted into the Western Australian Amateur Swimming Association's Hall of Fame.[14]
