Tasty Race of the Week - June 15th

Jun 15, 2011

In only its second year, the adidas Jim Ryun Dream Mile and Lukas Verzbicas did something only one other athlete had done...46 years ago. Break four minutes in the mile in a high school only race. Lukas Verzbicas came in the returning Dream Mile Champ after dominating the field in 2010. This year however, there were multiple athletes with a legit shot at breaking 4. With one lap to go the 4:00 1600 meter runner, Jantzen Oshier, pushed Verzbicas, but Verzbicas responded with a 58 second last quarter to break the field, break four minutes and in doing so made the dream a reality. 3:59.71.
