| Marlins Hand Webb First Loss | | 2008-05-21 21:21:00 | | Now there's something you don't see every day. It's amazing how the Marlins continue to prove everyone wrong. After a lackluster week or two, the Marlins have rebounded to win the series against baseball's best team. Tonight they squeezed out a win against the Diamondback's ace, the previously undefeated Brandon Webb.The victory today, coupled with a win over Micah Owings (despite 10k's) yesterday assures the Marlins of the series win and I'm sure some respect in league circles. They hadn't beaten a team with a winning record in May and people were starting to question their hot start (including myself) on a cupcake schedule. Somehow they continue to keep winning. I know it's a line I keep repeating, but I still don't know how they're doing it, especially with Hanley Ramirez slumping.The win puts the Marlins within 1.5 games of the 'Backs and Cubs for the best record in baseball. Imagine what a sweep of the NL favorite Diamondbacks would do for this young team's confidence. I know I wo... | | By: State of Miami | | |
| | Better Know a Draft Prospect: Gardner-Webb Defensive End Brian Johnston | | 2008-04-16 00:24:58 | | The least you should know about Brian Johnston... Height 6-5 Weight 274 lbs 40 Yard Dash 4.66 20 Yard Dash 2.66 Bench Reps 26 3 Cone 6.96 Compares To: MATT ROTH-Miami: " Johnston is a work in progress, but he brings instant value as an edge rusher. His first lesson is that he cannot overpower NFL offensive tackles on a consistent basis. This might have worked at his level of competition, but not in the NFL, where tackles are much bigger and stronger. Johnston is a good leverage player who can hold his ground on the edge, but because of size issues, he is inconsistent in attempts to split double teams. With his ability to play on his feet and the flexibility he shows coming off the corner, he will get to the quarterback often, if not asked to play every down.

| | Karrie Webb Wins her fourth Australian Open | | 2008-02-03 04:25:22 | | Australia's Karrie Webb has won the Women's Australian Open at the second hole of a sudden death playoff from Korea's Ji-Yai Shin.The win is Webb's fourth in her national championship, and her second in as many years.After beginning the final round locked together, the pair swapped position throughout the day before Shin took a two shot lead when she birdied the par four 15th.Playing ahead of Webb, Shinn safely negotiated the final three holes, arriving at the clubhouse in 67 shots, six-under par.Webb duly birdied the 16th, a straightforward par four.But with two of the toughest holes on the course ahead of her, Webb appeared to have little chance of pegging the Korean back.She then showed her class by holing out from three metres at the par three 17th to level the score.Webb stepped onto the par four 18th, a hole she had bogeyed in the second and third rounds, and played it perfectly in par to force the playoff.A near identical effort at the first playoff hole - again the 18th - w... | | By: The Golf Blog | | |

| | Alan Webb Breaks 25-Year-Old American Record | | 2007-07-21 23:45:21 | | Alan Webb Broke Steve Scott's 25-Year-Old American Record in the Mile today at the Atletiek Vlaanderen meet in Brasschaat, Belgium. The video should be available soon on Flotrack.com.Webb's time of 3:46.91 is the 16th fastest Mile ever run. Webb is the 8th fastest miler of all time, only behind the following men:3:43.13, Hicham El Guerrouj (MAR)3:43.40, Noah Ngeny (KEN)3:44.39, Noureddine Morceli (ALG)3:44.60, Hicham El Guerrouj (MAR)3:44.90, Hicham El Guerrouj (MAR)3:44.95, Hicham El Guerrouj (MAR)3:45.19, Noureddine Morceli (ALG)3:45.64, Hicham El Guerrouj (MAR)3:45.96, Hicham El Guerrouj (MAR)3:46.24, Hicham El Guerrouj (MAR)3:46.32, Steve Cram (GBR)3:46.38, Daniel Komen (KEN)3:46.70, Vénuste Niyongabo (BDI)3:46.76, Saïd Aouita (MAR)3:46.78, Noureddine Morceli (ALG)... | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | Webb Set To Challenge Steve Scott's Mile Record | | 2007-07-18 23:11:22 | | Alan Webb, who already broke a couple of Steve Scott's records this season (his 28-year-old Drake Relays meet record in the Mile Run and his 25-year-old U.S. National Outdoor Championships meet record in the 1500m Run) is going for perhaps Scott's most prestigious record: the American Mile Run record of 3:47.69. He has lined up a couple of rabbits to pace him at the Atletiek Vlaanderen Meeting in Brasschaat, Belgium on July 21st, 2007.According to this article, Webb will need ideal conditions and good pacing. The forecast for Saturday in Antwerp is partly cloudy with highs in the upper 60s and lows in the mid 50s, which is ideal for middle distance running.As he tries for the record, we have to wonder: Is Webb peaking to soon? Probably not. If we look at his 2005 timeline, he showed a remarkably steady progression (see chart. I converted his Mile times from both years to their 1500m equivalents) all the way from May to August (the sole spike on the 2005 line is his 9th place finish at the 2005 Helsinki world championships).Going into the last part of the current season, the trend for his 2007 timeline appears to be vastly different than, and superior to, his corresponding 2005 timeline. Not only that, but he is much more experienced in international competition and his tactics should be much different than they were in Helsinki. Back then, he shot to the front at 800m, in effect acting as the sacrificial lamb, err... rabbit. This year, he has exhibited much more confidence in his kick by waiting it out, even in slow, tactical races, and then outkicking his opponents. He did this in June by outkicking Bernard Lagat at the national championships and he did it again in Paris, this time outkicking Mehdi Baala.Here's the video of the 2005 1500m final (plus Webb's semi-final race which he led for most of the race, ending up 2nd in his heat). I found it on You Tube, so I had nothing to do with the cheesy jazz overdub or the completely moronic descriptive text that read... | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | Berkeley County - Del Webb Community - Senior Living | | 2007-07-12 02:35:00 | | Del Webb community welcomes first homeowners
Del Webb Charleston, a 360-acre active adult community for adults age 55 and older, has officially opened near Summerville.
Del Webb plans 1,000 homes in the community within the master-planned development of Cane Bay Plantation off S.C. Highway 176.
The community will offer a variety of amenities and activities.
Del Webb Charleston is being developed by Pulte Homes Inc., a Fortune 150 company based in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. The company had revenues of $14.3 billion in 2006 and has constructed nearly 500,000 homes in its 57-year history.

| | Internet Still Abuzz About Webb's Paris Victory | | 2007-07-11 12:26:52 | | The internet is still buzzing about Alan's Webb's superb victory (and 2007 world-leading time of 3:30.54) in the men's 1500m Run at the Meeting Gaz de France (Paris Saint-Denis) last week. There's even chatter by Track and Field journalists about a World Championships victory by Webb in Osaka later this season. Here's the video of the race. Watch how Mehdi Baala gives up toward the end of the race when he realizes that he's beaten. (Could this race be a preview of the Osaka 1500m final?) Notice, too, (take notice, ESPN, CBS and NBC) how much better the British commentators are at covering a track event than their American counterparts:Click To Play... | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | Alan Webb Becomes Fastest American-Born 1500m Runner of All Time | | 2007-07-06 23:37:00 | | With his 3:30.54 win in the men's 1500m run at the Meeting Gaz de France, Alan Webb became the third fastest American of all time and the fastest American-born 1500m runner of all time. Only Sydney Maree and Bernard Lagat, both naturalized American citizens, have run faster times as Americans. Maree has run a time of 3:29.77. Lagat holds the American-record with a time of 3:29.30 and has also posted a time of 3:29.68 as an American. He has run faster several times, running as fast as 3:26.34 (2nd fastest of all time), but he ran those times as a Kenyan citizen.Webb's time in Paris surpasses his previous PB of 3:32.52 by 1.98 seconds. His PB for the Mile is 3:48.92. The 1500m time he ran today is the equivalent of a 3:47.38 mile, which would be 0.31 seconds faster than Steve Scott's American record of 3:47.69. Fresh off of his PB of 1:45.80 in the 800m run and with his blazing kick today, Webb has situated himself as one of the favorites to win the 1500m at the Osaka World Champio... | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | Paris Too Hot For Alan Webb? | | 2007-07-02 07:10:00 | | This coming Friday's Meeting Gaz de France in Paris Saint-Denis may be too hot for Alan Webb to handle. He is scheduled to compete in the men's 1500m against 7 of the 8 highest-ranked 1500m runners in the world, according to the IAAF rankings. Webb is not even ranked in the top 100. Even so, Webb has the 8th fastest 1500m time in the world this year with a 3:34.82. Since he also boasts the 5th fastest mile time in the world in 2007 with a 3:51.71, he certainly belongs in the race. But how will he do?Ten men in the race have faster 1500m PR's than Webb's PR of 3:32.52. Webb would have to beat his PR by 1.47 seconds just to match Mehdi Baala's 2007 world-leading 3:31.05. Webb's kick at the national championships indicates that he is ready to contend in the European circuit this year. Only trouble is, he is probably going to have to break Bernard Lagat's American record of 3:29.30 to do it. Paris will be a preview of what we can expect from Webb in Osaka.Here's the start list,... | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | Alan Webb's Bold Switch to the 2 Mile at the Pre Classic | | 2007-06-07 18:17:00 | | If nothing else, you have to admire Alan Webb's pluck. He was originally scheduled to take on Bernard Lagat, Alex Kipchirchir, Daniel K. Komen, et al, in the Bowerman Mile. He has since decided to switch over to the 2 Mile race so he can take on the Fabulous Bekele Brothers and take a shot at his American record of 8:11.48. Is his decision courageous or foolish? We'll find out on Sunday. His winning kick at Reebok certainly helps make the case that he's ready for the challenge.The 33rd Prefontaine Classic will be televised live on NBC for two hours beginning at 1 p.m. PT on June 10th.TENTATIVE TIME SCHEDULE (as of 6/5/07)12:30 National Anthem12:35 Javelin Throw (W)12:40 Introduction of Bob Schul12:44 Introduction of Don Bowden12:48 Introduction of Bill Dellinger1:03 400 Meter Hurdles (W) [Live TV]1:06 Long Jump (M) [West]1:08 Pole Vault (M)1:11 100 Meters (M)1:16 Steeplechase (M)1:30 800 Meters (M)1:35 Shot Put (M)1:40 100 Hurdles (W)1:44 Triple Jump (W) [East]1:48 110 Hurdles (M)1:... | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | Alan Webb Still Not Ranked by IAAF | | 2007-05-23 02:52:00 | | The latest world rankings have been published by the IAAF and Alan Webb has still not been ranked among the world's top 50 men in the 1500m/Mile. In fact, he's still not even ranked in the top 100!You might recall that I tried to decipher their convoluted scoring system a couple of weeks ago. Like I said back then, if a man runs the fastest time in the world in an event, he ought to be ranked among the world's best in that event. At least he ought to crack the top 100, don't you think?! Perhaps the IAAF officials over in Monaco have overlooked Webb's outstanding performance at the Drake Relays on April 28th. No, that's not it. The IAAF's website does have him listed as the miler with the fastest time in the world this year. In fact, his time is nearly 6 seconds faster than the 2nd best time in the world this year! Webb also has the 3rd fastest time in the world this year. I dug a little deeper into the files (zipped txt or pdf files) the IAAF has available for download o... | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
