For his next trick, Syracuse runner Justyn Knight hopes to win two national titles in 24 hours

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse runner Justyn Knight is looking to join an exclusive club of six distance runners this weekend, as he tries to win two national titles in less than 24 hours.

Knight will compete in both the 3,000 meters and the 5,000 meters in the NCAA's Indoor Track and Field championships, looking to become just the seventh runner in history to win both those titles at the indoor meet.

Winning multiple national titles in a single championship meet would only grow the legend of Knight, already considered the best runner in the history of Syracuse University.
