though he was competing against some of the best in the country.

High-schooler runs record 800 split at Penn Relays
April 28, 2001 6:25 pm EST
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Alan Webb of South Lakes High School in Reston, Va., ran
the fastest high school 800-meter split in the history of Penn Relays on
Saturday.
Webb anchored the 3,200-meter relay in 1 minute, 49.1 seconds. The previous
record was 1:49.4, set in 1970 by Bob Wheeler of Dulaney High School in
Timonium, Md.
"I wanted to win, that was the main concern," said Webb, who was the first
high schooler to break a 4-minute mile since 1967.
"You can't beat running in front of 50,000 people screaming your name."
Webb was handed the baton in first place by about two meters, then extended
the lead to more than 50 meters by the end of his first 400.
It was a personal best for Webb, who also anchored Friday's record-setting
boys' high school distance medley. South Lakes broke the Penn Relays record
with a time of 9:59.66.
Webb, a senior, is planning to start at Michigan in the fall.
