Webb says his next goal is the world record, 3:43.13, held by Hicham El Guerrouj since 1999. Steve Scotts time has been a target for American milers since he set it in 1982. Scott issued this statement through U.S. Track and Field: Im happy that it was Alan who broke it, and I believe at the end of the day, when all is said and done, that people will consider him the greatest distance runner America has ever had. He has such range, hes so replica Omega 95 1592.30 watch young and hes accomplished so much. I have nothing to be ashamed of, losing the record to him. Heres the transcript of the teleconference Webb had after the meet, provided courtesy of U.S. Track and Field. The photo of Alan was also provided by U.S. Track and Field.
I had two pace-setters. It was basically me and two pace-setters from the start. I just got right on their tails, and one guy went through 800 and another guy through 1200. We were about 2:49 at 1,200 meters. At that point, I gave it everything I had. The chips replica Omega 3870.50.31 watch fell where they were, and here we are.Q: Were your splits a little slower early on than during your race in Paris?A: It was a little bit slower than planned. We slowed down the second lap. The second pace-setter kind of fell off a little bit. I was a little worried he wasnt going to be able to go the whole way. I think he might have been hurting a little bit and wanted to be sure he could get through in a decent time. We slowed down the second lap, which is kind of unusual for a world-class 1500 or mile.
The planned pace was 2:48 [for 1200m] but we ended up being about 2:49. That wasnt exactly ideal, but I was confident because I felt really good. Its one of those things youve got to roll with the punches. They did a really good job and obviously I broke the record so I cant complain. Q: Which meant more, breaking this record or breaking Jim replica Omega 2569.52 watch Ryuns record when you were in high school?A: Definitely this one, mostly because I was shooting for it. This race was set up so I could do this. When I broke Jim Ryuns record I really wasnt sure if I could do it since I had only run 3:59 at that time. My senior year in high school I wasnt trying to run 3:53, I was just working as hard as I could.
