At tonight’s KBC Night of Athletics meeting in Heusden, Belgium, American miler Alan Webb stepped down to the 800m and won a close contest over Canada’s Gary Reed, 1:43.84 to 1:44.03.
Webb’s time was the second-fastest in the world this year, a career best, and the fastest by an American since Khadevis Robinson’s 1:43.68 recorded at Rieti, Italy, last September.
The 24 year-old continues to have the best season of his career. He broke the USA record for the mile (3:46.91), and set personal bests for 800m (1:43.84), 1500m (3:30.54), and indoor mile (3:55.18). He also won the USA indoor title at the mile and the outdoor title at 1500m. He has recorded 11 victories on the track this year, including heats.
