Whats up with so many people on this site getting all hung up with Alan Webb and his high school exploits? I'm glad letsrun finally got an article up recently about Krummenacker's (sp?) success. While everyone was trading Webb rookie cards and going goatnuts over the moves that this kid was making, this guy quietly posted some of the best times put out by an American since Steve Scott. Give the guy some credit, I say he'll be beating Webb for years to come!
I have to agree with ya there Dirty Dan!
How old is Krum??
26 or 27 this year
I dunno, I think that Webb could very well do something very special this next year, like 3:31-33. However, at least for the next two years, I think Krum has it all over Webb...which isn't too bad considering Webb is only 19.
Wilson..what are u up to, are you running professionally or what?
dirty dan is NOT dan wilson....
Well, either way, what is Dan Wilson up to?
Krum should not be in the conversation- he is the CURRENT great American miler. Webb is the next. Ryan Hall and Sara Bei's child will be after him(just kidding, but it would be intriguing).
I think Webb will outlast Krum in longevity, but it will be some time in coming is my prediction. As for Bei and Hall's kid, why does it have to be Bei and Hall, I always see people on this sight putting those two together. Its like people here have some sick gene pool fetish with "mating" the best young runners in America. Well I have one for all the gene freaks out there, how about Georgie Clark and Alan Webb?? Theres a wonder child you sick sick perverts.
i like a dave wottle & gail devers cross
dan wilson is in North Carolina at Zap Fitness.
Webb is washed up. He won't ever run a sub 3:53 mile ever again.
As much as I would like to see Webb do great stuff, I just don't see it in the near future. I would be greatly surprised and humbled if he even runs a sub-3:55 next season.

He never did it the first time!
Those of you that think Webb is all washed up, how many of you same people ever thought Webb would run 3:53 in H.S.? He will be the next great miler, mostly due to the fact that he is on a program that won't have him peaking three times a year and won't be intervaled to death which is the downfall of many distance runners in the US from high school on up.
