Lukas Verzbicas won the world junior triathlon championships. Interested to see how he does at Oregon, he has never lost a cross country race in his life.

Wow, it only took 7 minutes for a dooshbag to appear.
LV's accomplishment is FANTASTIC.
It's like Babe Ruth's called shot.
Agreed, he did everything he said he would do, except for the 5k record which he changed his mind about in favor of the triathlon.

Its better than Babe Ruth's called shot. Lukas did this because his friend, who could have won, got cancer and Lukas wanted to bring the medal to him. His victory was completely selfless. Lukas isn't just a winner, he is a hero.
Damn, I still flabbergasted. Lukas just pulled off some real Harry Potter shit.
Did he run for Lithuania?

No, for triathlons he is eligible to compete for America since he has a green card and has never competed for another country. He should be a citizen next year, at which point he can represent America for track as well.
I actually read / heard somewhere that if he won he was going to give the medal to his friend. Luke is a classy kid!

Hero's, Hero? ...Bordering on Saint?
Just saying.
he·ro [heer-oh]
noun, plural -roes; for 5 also -ros.
1.
a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok would YOU PEOPLE just freaking relax. Good gravy.
He didn't even run the fastest split. I would have thought for sure he would have.
It probably took him a few seconds to walk across the line as he did in Foot Locker.
i bet Kevin was stoked. great job, Lukas!
And what about Tony Smoragiewicz taking third with about equal bike and run times as Lukas. Pretty cool stuff. Props to both of them.
Thanks for the splits.
Yeah, I'm guessing he walked across the line- triathletes do it more often than pure runners I think. Awesome race, and very much a noble thing that Lukas did. I really hope he goes on to do great things, because he promises so much with that kind of talent, maturity, and experience.

Well, the guy who ran faster has run sub-9 for 3200m, so not some slouch.
barely sub17
