Lukas Verzbicas, the Lithuanian-born sophomore-to-be from Lincoln Way Central in New Lenox, lived up to all the hype on Saturday night, pulling away from fellow superstar
Solomon Haile of Sherwood, MD, to win the 2-mile at the Midwest Distance Gala in 8:53.98. The crowd at Benedictine University in Lisle was on its feet as Luke dug down to pull away from Haile after briefly trailing on the
fifth lap. It was a very impressive finish that began unfolding with about 600 yards to go. Haile finished in second with an 8:56.08, barely holding off a familiar rival,
Graham Bezell of Anholton, MD, who was third in 8:56.65. In another great event,
Andrew Springer of Rhode Island won the boys' mile in 4:02.90, beating surprising
Peter Callahan of North Shore Country Day, who ran 4:05.20, and
Pat McGregor of Hoover, AL, who was third in 4:07.01. Two Illinois girls went 1-2 in the girls' mile. It was
Stephanie Brown running a great 4:40.12 to edge
Lizzy Hynes, who ran 4:51.91. This was one great track meet. And yes, when Lukas flung his victory flower bouquet into the packed stands, I caught them. A bit embarrassed, I handed them off to a woman in the row behind me.
Pardon the blurry photos! They show Luke biding time behind Solomon at the end of Lap 7 and then his decisive gap on the final turn.

I can't believe you gave up the flowers! :)
I can't, either! I was so stunned, I just gave them away!
When you are trying to maintain your Breitling Bentley , you will want to make sure that you don't over-wind it when you're setting Superocean . If you own an older model, this is especially true because you can break the built-in spring. But if you own a newer model of Chronomat B01 , then there is protection from over-winding built into the Chronomat Evolution structure.
Spring Coach Wallets are lighting up women's faces all around the world. Maybe Coach Wristlet is the style, quality of stitching, or the softness of the leather that the company is renown for. There are so many different Coach Gallery designs and styles. You can definitely find yourself Coach Legacy that will go with everything in your wardrobe.
When searching for Patent Ed Hardy Clothes , it might be helpful not only to have the hardy shirt above in hand in order to find the style that one wants – but hardy shirt also might be good to know that while there are a number of hardy shirts that carry these styles, none of them (that I have found) carry all of the different styles in all the patterns available.
