In front of a small crowd in Brasschaat, Belgium Alan Webb, set a new American record in the mile. In the small meet the graduate of South Lakes High School in Reston, ran a 3:46.91, the best American time ever and the 8th fastest time in history. Webb knocked off approximate quarters of 56.1, 57.4, 56.8 and 56.2
Back in 1982 even before the 24 year old runner was born Steve Scott ran the distance in 3:47.69 to set the American record. Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco owns the world record of 3:43.13.
The mile has been mostly been replaced by the 1500m, making it hard to find quality meets to enter and compete at the mile. In recent weeks Webb has been running well, on July 6 he recorded a personal best in the 1,500 and the worlds best time this year at 3:30.54, along with that he recorded a personal-best 1:45.80 in the 800 on July 2. With the recent PR's the meet directors were convinced to add the mile to the schedule for Webb's record breaking attempt.
