On May 27th, 2001, Alan Webb, from South Lakes High School, shattered Jim Ryun's 36 year-old high school mile record mark of 3:55.3 (set June 27th, 1965) with a time of 3:53.43 at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, OR. Webb's coach, Scott Raczko, hosts this video as you relive this record-breaking experience. Discover insight into Webb's personality, motivation, and work ethic as Coach Raczko discusses Alan's development and how the training and racing schedules were customized to accommodate his unique abilities. Emphasis is given to the period of time surrounding Alan's record-breaking performance. The race footage is from home video and none from the actual record setting race. The primary focus is on Raczko speaking with sports journalists and if you have done much reading about Webb there will be little you will gain from this production. This item was once availible in VHS format from Championship Productions.com, however they discontinued selling VHS tapes in the summer of 2007.
