Alan Webb, the American record holder in the mile, the high school record holder in the mile, is running the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. Webb has had a quixotic career; one with highs and lows. What is remarkable about Alan is that, through all of the detritus thrown at him, he has kept a modest demeanor and still speaks with the media.

Now coached by Alberto Salazar, and part of the Oregon Project, Webb is embarking on 2011 healthy and looking forward to new challenges. Webb, like Jim Ryun, the former AR and world record holder in the miles, as well as a silver medalist in the 1968 Olympic Games, has had the pressure of a sports mad country hoping that he was/is the next great American miler. Is Webb capable of medaling at a World Champs or Olympics? Of course he is, and it seems that he may finally realize that himself.

Webb will be running the NB Indoor GP this weekend over the mile distance.

The final event of Saturday’s New Balance
Indoor Grand Prix will be the Men’s Mile, and it’s clear that this
year’s meet is saving the best for last. American Outdoor Record holder Alan Webb‘s
re-entry into the field has set up what’s sure to be a thrilling race
over eight laps. Webb will face, among others: New Zealander Nick Willis, the 2008 Olympic silver medalist at 1500m and two-time defending champion at this event; Leo Manzano, the fastest American miler from last year; Rob Myers, the 2009 USATF Indoor 1500m Champion, Pablo Solares, the Mexican record holder at this distance; and high school senior Lukas Verzbicas, America’s fastest high school miler last year. Who will win is anybody’s guess…
