RARE Footage! Alan Webb runs 3:59.86 @ Armory

This is the ONLY recorded footage of this historic race...and I JUST so happened to pack my camcorder that day ;)

At the New Balance Games in January of 2001, Webb's mile time of 3:59.86 at New York Citys Armory made him the first American high schooler ever to run a sub-four minute mile indoors.

@7agneskickingbird7 Disagree. Ryun just ran against alot more pros in HS. Don't get me wrong he was FAST but Webb has better pr's.

WEBB best HS miler ever

It's not fair to set a high school record with a Kenyan in the race. Unless the Kenyan is in high school too.

verzbicas couldve broken this but he had a bad race with that 4:03:88

[dobler132]

worst camera work ever

[kdrast03]

you would think that if they kept announcing american record guy in high school they eventually would pan back to see webb

[sanitary103]

I would watch this in it's entirety but it's giving me a headache
