Webb ran a faster mile in high school than Bob Kennedy ever did. I have a huge amount of respect for Kennedy and his accomplishmnets but he was not in the same physiological class as Webb.
i don't understand these arguments. the list of people with faster miles than BK in high school is a long one. many of those people went on to run competitive 5000s. none of them broke 13 minutes.
i'm not saying webb won't do it, but why would you point to their high school mile times as justification?
