- See Less -Alan Webb jumped into the national scene in high school with his success at the Footlocker National Cross Country Championships and more notably with his success in the mile. He smashed Jim Ryun's HSR of 3:55.3 at the Prefontaine Classic with a time of 3:53.43. Webb is also the first high schooler ever to run a sub 4:00 mile indoors.
After a year of running at the University of Michigan, Webb turned pro and started running for Nike under high school coach, Scott Raczko. He broke the American Record in the Two Mile at Nike Prefontaine Classic in 2005 in 8:11.48. Webb has since broke Steve Scott's American Mile Record (3:47.69) in Brasschaat, Belgium in a time of 3:46.91 and has also racked up personal bests of 1:43.84 in the 800m and 3:30.54 in the 1500m.
Holy cow, that was a really fast pace
and steroids wouldnt help you in an event like the mile, maybe creatine but not steroids.
how come everytime someone does well someone like you has to come in and accuse. The kid ran 3:53 as a high schooler... you wanna tell me that he was pumped full of *** then well then he had some pretty loaded parents. That time showed potential, he's aged and worked and naturally gotten faster. Lagat had one false positive. Who else would you like to belittle next? El G? Ngeny? Ryun? please don't limit yourself to just webb tell us who else your cheater radar is pointing out.
(1 second)through the first lap and probably ran sub 3:30... he is really really fit ... just wonder how much nikepaid for that
(not implying anything ... EPO)... well at least we know their marketing plan for the spring of 08 especialLY after they run their... i mean alan wins worlds.. on a serious note i Like Webb regaurdless if hes using anything people need to realise that its all part of the sport not just this sport but everysport. americans point fingers when someone runs fast where other individuals take the fact they could be doping with a grain of salt and recognize the great performance. we all know Lagat was pumped full of *** when he did his best racing... my prediction Lagat out... Webb in! NIKE Makes sure Alan wins Gloriously in Osaka! GO WEBB GO WEBB!
