Verzbicas wins two more titles

Sandburg senior Lukas Verzbicas wrapped up a successful weekend at the New Balance Indoor Nationals Sunday in New York City, capturing the mile and two-mile titles.

Verzbicas, who broke his own national prep indoor record in the 5,000 meters on Friday, won the two-mile in 8 minutes, 40.70 seconds and came back less than an hour and a half later to win the mile in 4:10.67. Both were meet and Armory Track and Field Center records. The two-mile time was just off the 47-year-old national indoor prep record of 8:40.00 held by Gerry Lindgren.
