The first qualifier for the invitational high school mile at the Millrose Games kicks off this Saturday at the 2010 Bishop Loughlin Games. This season, the road to Madison Square Garden runs right through the New Balance Track and Field Center and it’s heating up already.

  Lukas Verzbicas, IL, has clearly established himself as the best high school XC harrier of 2010 with an impressive Nike XC Nationals win in the mud and a dominating win in the sun at the Foot Locker Nationals.  Lukas became the first harrier to win both the NXN and Foot Locker titles in the same year and just the 3rd harrier ever to win 2 Foot Locker titles.  These stats should establish a foundation for considering him as one of the best high school harriers of all-time.  

The 2010 Foot Locker Nationals are in the books!  Aisling Cuffe and Lukas Verzbicas have put their stamp on history with equally dominating performances with winning times of 16:53 and 14:59.

John McGowan is the lone representative from the D.C., Maryland region and if he continues to do as well as he has all year, he should place well!
