Last weekend Alan Webb ran 3:46.91 to set a new American Record in the mile, beating Steve Scott’s 25 year old record of 3:47.69 and also becoming the 8th fastest ever at 1 mile.

Webb, a graduate of South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia, broke the record at a low-key meet in Brasschaat, Belgium and is now focusing on next month’s world championships in Osaka, Japan.
