Webb won the Big 10 mile but he hardly crushed the field, it was quite a group sprint (and I think that Spiker fell). Also, since Webb had the best PR coming in, if you ran a "handicap" race based on PRs, he would have been behind most of that finishing pack. Yes, he won but not to the extent one might have expected. Webb's training/racing did not go so well that year and he eventually changed course and that change has worked out well for him.


Um, you missed his point. Zatopek was referencing Webb's win at the Big10 CROSS-COUNTRY race his frosh year, when he was still only 18. And that race was FIVE miles my friend, not 1500 meters. And the next week Webb was 2nd in the x-c National qualifers/Regionals at 10k , only behind Boaz (who won easily). But Webb beat some big time distance runners in that race.
