Quite an outdoor college track debut for Highland’s Cortland Webb, a true freshman at Rider.
In his first 400-meter hurdles race in college, Webb finished 1st with a lifetime-best 54.99 Saturday at the Rider 5-Way meet in Lawrenceville.
Webb’s previous PR was a 55.27 this past May at the Tri-County Conference Championships at Delsea.
Webb is coming off a promising indoor season, which included a big 800 PR of 1:56.84 at Ocean Breeze last month. His high school PR was 1:58.38, also from Ocean Breeze.
Webb’s time is fastest in the Metro Atlantic Conference so far this outdoor season and fastest by a Rider freshman since Noah Rivera-Sharp ran 53.83 at the 2019 MAC championships in West Long Branch.
