Lucas Bocanegra and Brittany Austin are a team of Dating Lifeguards, and later Engaged Lifeguards, on The Amazing Race 30.
Placing in the middle of the pack for the first few legs, the team barely escaped elimination in the third and fourth legs. However, they pulled ahead on the fifth leg and claimed first place, after which Lucas proposed to Brittany. From then on, they seemed to be a more put together team, though they weren't necessarily perceived as a threat due to their occasional flaws with directions. After back-to-back first places on the seventh and eighth legs, Lucas lost his passport between connecting flights. Through their tenacity, they were able to get a temporary passport and fly to Bahrain, but they were too far behind survive and were eliminated in 5th place.
