Hes done.
Hes done.
We've all had one of those races ... shit happens.
Nicely done by Rosa though!
Looks like Lukas was where he wanted to be after 1600 (4:17), but it proved to be too much. Appears to have phoned in the last 800.
Those souless Gingers ran him down!
Everybody has bad days. Verzbicas just went out a little too hard. It happens.
The Rosas ran great races.
link? results? video? mind is blown.
He's going to the Tri. He's done with track.
new HS junior record for rosa, old record 8;44.9 by hulst in '75!
I watched the race,
Verzbicas had 40m on the Rosa's, and then around 1800m, he just died. Went out too hard, wanted 8:38 too much.
I give him props for being brave, and I also give props to the Rosa's for being smart.
Lukas looked crushed during the medal ceremony.
...how in the world does 'the greatest of all time' lose to another American? What will happen when the Kenyan's and Ethiopian's show up???
kid probably learned an important lesson today about sacrifice and priorities. whether he applies talent to become a mediocre international runner or a premier triathlete, equivalent in achievement, is yet to be seen
video is up, great race by the rosa boys

thank you!
Hulst was a ginger too
German ran 8:34 didn't he?
With 20-20 hindsight, Verzbicas ran a really stupid race.
Who cares about a 2 mile race. So what he ran 4:04 for the mile last week in NYC. He needs rest.
rest? he's been hurt all season. he should be ready to roll for the summer.
Depends on what his goals were. Were they to win the race (stupid) or run fast(If you are running 8:34 you are going out in 4:17 or so).
