McCullough, Verzbicas make Friday a day to remember
Great things may come from Hasay and New Bern, but relish the USRs of 92-07.50 WT and 14:18.42 5k

By SteveU, DyeStat/ESPN RISE senior editor

With the performances of Jordan Hasay and the long sprinters of New Bern still down the road this weekend, it’s quite possible – even likely – that what happened in Boston Friday night won’t stand as the defining memory of the 2009 Nike Indoor Nationals.

But what Conor McCullough and Lukas Verzbicas did here should not be soon forgotten.  McCullough, the rangy senior from West Hills CA (Chaminade HS), twice revised his weight throw record in Day 1 of the throwdown in Beantown, first nipping the 87-10.75 by a mere three-quarters of an inch, then crushing it with a mind-bending 92-07.50 on his final throw.

Fans barely had time to take a breath, however, as the announcement of the mark was virtually accompanied by the sight of Verzbicas streaming around the oval for a 31-second first lap of his 5000.  The energy built to another peak as it dawned on everyone that the lithe New Lenox IL frosh (Lincoln Way Central HS) was not only going to destroy the class record, but also take down Solomon Haile’s hours-old US record.  Sure enough, he did just that, crossing the line in 14:18.42, one of the most stunning distance running performances in prep history. 

That put a cap on an incredible first day of action that also included an impressive 17:03.82 5000 by Walsh Jesuit OH sr Chelsea Oswald – followed by a US frosh record 17:15.38 by Glen Head NY (North Shore RC/North Shore HS) star Samantha Nadel – and continued domination in the girls weight by Marietta GA (Throw 1 Deep/Kell HS) senior Lauren Chambers with her winning 58-10.25.

The meet began Friday with a strong chance of both hammer marks being eclipsed. 

After Chambers had won the girls competition, but missed the goal, attention switched to McCullough to see if he could pull it off.  The field also included excellent throwers like US#1-2 Alec Faldermeyer NY and Nabil Mubarak GA, but even they knew if the Californian was even close to form that they would be fighting for second.

When McCullough finally made it to the ring for his first throw of the first round of the third flight, he had everyone’s attention.  With an 83-04 effort, he quickly demonstrated he was in good form and the mark would be good enough to win by seven feet – but he was just getting warmed up.

The next round saw Faldermeyer – the Minisink Valley NY junior – respond with a 76-04.25, a mark just 5 inches off his best and that would stand up for 2nd.  But a throw later, it was McCullough getting up to 86-07.  The top three would stand from this point as Bishop Hendricken RI sr Michael Gama’s 72-09.25 from the first round would keep him in third as Mubarak could only reach 68-05.75 for fourth.

 Highlights
  • In an astonishing race, freshman Lukas Verzbicas took down the national 5k record of 14:22.88 Solomon Haile had set only hours earlier at NSIC, running 14:18.42 in a nearly solo effort
  • Chelsea Oswald OH wins the girls 5k handily, running 17:03.82, but in her wake Samantha Nadel NY sets a national freshman record of 17:15.38, taking down Chelsea Ley's 17:41.90 from 2007
  • Conor McCullough CA destroys his own USR set last year at NSIC by nearly 5 feet, reaching 92-07.50 on his final throw of the finals, after hitting a USR 87-11.50 in the prelims.
  • US#1 Lauren Chambers (Marietta GA) hits 58-10.25 on her second throw of the prelims, and that mark holds up for the win as she twice fouls and fails to improve in the final round.  Throw1Deep of Georgia sweeps the top 3 places, with Patrice Gates second and Jazmin Miller third.
When McCullough came up again, he whirled the ball and chain even further, and it looked like he was very close.  A mighty cheer went up as the mark was announced as 88 feet (later revised to 87-11.50), nudging his old record aside.  The finals participants were then sorted out and, in the fourth and fifth rounds, the leader was again in the mid-80s.  There was a sense that he could go further, and he clearly wanted it, but what would it take?

McCullough’s final effort sent the ball not to the right or left side, as most of the others had gone, but straight ahead and just beyond the outer corner of the tarp that constituted the landing area.  Because there were no markers out there, fans couldn’t really tell at first if it was beyond his previous record, though working minds were speculating that given the shape of the tarp, it must surely be close to 90 feet.

But no one was ready for the mark that was posted – 92-08!  Fans were stunned and meet announcer Ian Brooks proclaimed it “Beamon-esque” for everyone to hear.

McCullough said it was a technique change that allowed him to get it further.  “I pushed it around a few more degrees, and generated some more force,” he said.

He told Mr. Brooks that he did not come into the meet with a specific distance goal in mind, saying, “I try not to put a number on it; I just wanted to improve.”  But he later allowed that the first record wasn’t enough.  “I couldn’t settle for improving it by just an inch.”

McCullough said he had done only a few weeks of specific preparation for throwing the weight, “just to get in the rhythm.  The hammer training I do prepares me pretty well.”

Faldermeyer, who had led the nation all winter long only to see his mark overwhelmed by someone competing just one weekend in the event, smiled when reminded that he had acknowledged how this would unfold in an interview a few weeks back.  “I knew it was coming,” he said.  “I had come to terms with it.”

With McCullough in his own world, Faldermeyer was able to shift his focus to the others – “I knew there would be great competition in the meet from the other guys over 70 feet” – and his own technique.  “The competition was against me more than anyone else.  My series was a little off, my technique was a little off, but I was pretty happy to get the 76-footer.”

The New Yorker added he was looking forward to throwing again – and seeing Conor throw again – on Sunday at NSIC.  He also said that McCullough and former champ Walter Henning had done a lot for getting the sport attention and inspiring others.

Earlier, with a PR of 61-07.50, Chambers was chasing Victoria Flowers’ 2008 US mark of 62-02, as well as the meet record of 61-02.  When she hit her eventual winner on her 2nd throw, it looked like she could keep progressing and perhaps get 61 or better.

That mark, however, was followed by two fouls (intentional), a 53-09, and then an awkward foul on her final attempt.  But while the weight season has had a disappointing drop at Simplot and here, Chambers still has NSIC to go for it and an outdoor season in the hammer where she just last week hit a huge PR 191-11. 

Two Throw 1 Deep throwers and Charlotte NC sr (Higher Power AC/Butler HS) Aslynn Halvorson waged a battle for the other top spots.  On her 2nd throw, T1D senior Jazmin Miller (Hiram GA HS) hit 54-04.75 to take over 2nd.  Halvorson was in 2nd after the first round, then stayed in 3rd with a 5th-round 53-09.25.  On her final throw, however, T1D junior Patrice Gates (Villa Rica HS GA) hit 54-05.25 to take over the runner-up position.

Verzbicas astounds

How often do you see a meet where you can witness a performance that was so good as to be aptly called “Beamonesque,” and before you can even finish celebrating it, you turn around and find your jaw dropping even further as an arguably even-better performance unfolds before your disbelieving eyes?

The answer: Almost never.  But even as McCullough was doing his thing on his final throw, the entrants for the 2nd and seeded section of the boys 5000 were lining up.  By the time the new US weight record was announced, the most aware of track fans were giddy with the fact that they had just witnessed one phenomenal effort, yet another was unfolding right before their eyes.  Resplendent and almost resembling an Oregon Duck in his green and yellow uniform, Lukas Verzbicas began his highly anticipated performance with laps of 31 and 33 and right away began to gap a very solid field.  Runners like East Greenwich RI jr Nick Ross (9:11 2M PR) and Syracuse NY (Syracuse TC/Bishop Ludden HS) sr Sean Curry (9:16 3200 PR) were being left hopelessly behind and powerless to do anything as the Illinois yearling pounded out an unreal pace.

He was 2:13 for 800, 4:29 for 1600 and 9:05 for 3200.  While there was a very slight gradual slowing, he would pick it back up for half a lap here and there to make sure the pace didn’t fall too far off.  It began to dawn on everyone as he managed to maintain 35-second laps, that something close to 14:20 was going to happen and the new 5k mark set by Solomon Haile was in danger of not even lasting a day.

While the grueling pace had stripped away much chance of a hard kick, Verzbicas turned the final lap in 32 to cross the line in the amazing final time.  Not wanting to tighten up, he continued jogging around the track in what turned out to be something of a victory lap and, as he came down the homestretch, he looked every bit the pro in obliging and slapping the outstretched hands of congratulatory fans lining the rail.  You almost had the sense another Prefontaine was born.

Though he had just two other prep track races in his brief, but stunning career – the 4:15.43 mile and 8:29.16 3k frosh records at Arkansas – Lukas was clearly confident, saying he had hoped to run 33-34 second laps and shooting for a time under 14:30.  He said his father teased him regarding what the record was and used the Haile time he learned about earlier in the day for motivation.

Having had healthy training since November, having overcome the late season back injury he suffered in XC, Verzbicas revealed some of the recent workouts that prepared him for the meet – like 8x400 on a trail in 61-63, with the last one in 58, and in another 2x1000 in 2:39, then an 800 in 2:05.

A couple months past his 16th birthday, Verzbicas acknowledges that if not for the later-starting school system in his native Lithuania, where he lived until age 8, he would be a sophomore in the states, but shrugged it off.  Things like class records or even high school records are just a part of the big picture he said he looks at.  Though he acknowledged that his focus will be on his first love, the triathlon – with international competitions on his calendar for 2009 – he also said that the 14:18 might inspire him to spend more time in athletics. 

 
“This changes things a little,” he said, “but triathlon training is what’s gotten me to this level.”  But it remains unlikely that Verzbicas will pursue what would be a full track season.

The freshman phenom is also entered in the 2-mile, where he said he wouldn’t be going for a record, but just to win.

The girls 5000 featured some solid pacing for 3200 meters by what eventually became a pack featuring Jordan Jenkins (New Oxford, Pa.), Chelsea Oswald (Walsh Jesuit, Cuyahoga Falls, Oh.), Samantha Nadel (North Shore, Glen Head NY), and Megan Venables (Highland, Blackwood, N.J.).  1600 went by in 5:31 and 3200 in 11:07. 

At that point, Oswald knew it was time to go and started cranking out 39 and 40 second laps.  She seriously gapped the field en route to what would be a third 1600 of 5:18, finishing in 17:03.82.  Nadel lasted best of the pursuers and held to 2nd in 17:15.38, taking down the US freshman record of 17:41.90 by Chelsea Ley two years ago.  She also broke the New York state record.

“I like to run conservative at the beginning and hard the last mile,” said Oswald.  “I was hoping to win and I’m really happy with the time.”  Oswald had quit basketball to get an earlier start in track this year to run a few indoor meets and hopefully make some major improvements, following up on an XC season that started unsatisfactorily, but finished great with her 2nd Foot Locker Finals berth after she resolved an iron deficiency.

Nadel was also happy with her performance, saying she trusted in her coach’s prediction that she could run 17:15.  She didn’t go with Oswald when she made her break because she “didn’t want to go too fast, too early.”
