South Lakes beats Atlantic
behind Alan Webb's 1:47.3 anchor

South Lakes VA spotted Atlantic FL 5 seconds on the first two legs and then roared back for the win. South Lakes' third leg, jr Richard Smith, made up more than half the gap on Ken Schappert of Atlantic. Then megastar Alan Webb reeled in Atlantic anchor John Jefferson with a 51 second first lap (above) and pulled away for a 2-second final margin in 7:35.33, fastest time of the year in the US and #5 on Jack Shepard's all-time list. Atlantic's 7:37.31 places #11 on the all time list.
