By my reckoning, after 7 events, he would have needed to equal his best in
the last 3 events - granted, a tall order - to break the WR.
He fell short by 20cm in the PV but he could be on for the 2nd AT score.

certainly remain so until at least the European grand prix meets after the
nationals

You're correct. However, I was really impressed with Webb's
ability to complete a quality race with a strong finish
among the some of the best in the world. Regardless of what
he may have done in a 1500, he did finish with the quality
of a seasoned world-class competitor in a world class race.

Track is a team sport and putting your self-interest ahead of the team goal

No, it's actually an individual sport that some people have
overlaid with team scoring mechanisms, in the theory that it
could then compete better with true team sports.

That's a stretch. As far as team sports go, track is about as individual

I think of track and field as competition during training as well as the
meets. We compete against the other guys when we plan our training and do
it together 6 days of the week. That's when teamwork is apparent in our
sport-when we train together, then in the one meet day every athlete is
alone.
I'm very impressed with Webb's race.
I've heard him with other kids at a meet I went to. He seems very
personable, not egotistical. He seems confident, yet humble. I
lived in Illinois for a long time. Donald Sage was (is, I assume)
the same way. This bodes well for Alan Webb.
