Oops..
Editor's note: Alan Webb fell in the race on the final turn. Video of Race here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDOA6-yqGTI
(Thanks to UMBC guys for filming it)
As for the times:
1 163 Empty, George George Mason 1:53.31
6 403 Webb, Alan NIKE 1:59.43
For Alan's splits off the video I had:
28.2
57.4
1:26.0
then they better run faster than him for the remainder of the season also
What event was this and what time did they run?
It was an 800 and apparently from twitter Webb fell on the last turn.
Results are not up yet.
how does one fall at GM?
its not banked.
His head caused him to tip over.
funny as hell....b/c it's true
In my experience, falling at the end of races it usually related to being too tired to maintain form.
If anyone was at the meet and got video of the fall email me at weldonjohnson@letsrun.com

unfortunately they probably will.
How quickly we forget that he ran well under AlSal getting back to 3:35 and 3:52 in NYC on the roads. Somehow I think he will be ok.
is his head ok, any swelling ?

Ask yourself: is this something the visitors of LetsRun need to see? What will be gained by posting it? As if there aren't enough legitimate athletic accomplishments to cover right now, from NCAA indoors to the marathon.
Every time Alan Webb races it is an athletic accomplishment.
Please go kill yourself now.
USA track fans want to know what is going on with the most talented runner we have. He may not have had the best last few years, but I think we should keep our eye on a U.S. guy who's run 3:46 if he's still running AT ALL. Plus posting the video will lead to more accurate speculation, and speculation is FUN! Let's just admit that and let people speculate. It may be a guilty pleasure but it keeps this website running.

Does gravity only exist on banked tracks?
Did he look fit?
was he relaxed?
