Alan Webb has signed with Ray Flynn's Sports Management agency (terms
undisclosed).
He's leaving Michigan and returning to Virginia. Will train with HS coach
Scott Razcko and enroll at George Mason U.
Won't run junior nationals this weekend.
Details and quotes from Webb at www.runnersworld.com
Ray Flynn is a list lurker.
What say ye Ray? If it all blows up in the kids face, when you are no longer
pimpin him, will the deal have been good enough to trade away the best four
years of his life?
Or is it just business?

I'm sure Ray Flynn did not recruit Webb to his group by encouraging him to leave
school. But if Webb wants to leave a school and sign with an agent, why should Flynn
turn him down?

Hate to ask the obvious, but not being hip to distance running...
Webb is extremely good for an american 19 year old, but is he actually
good enough to be invited to meets that would allow him to earn money from
running outside of the shoe contract? I can't see the title of HS mile
