Elizabeth Webb '09, a standout in both cross country and track & field, made an indelible mark on Washington and Lee athletics as a four-year letterwinner and served as captain for both programs as a junior and senior. A dominant middle-distance runner, she graduated with five school records—indoors in the 800 meters, mile, and distance medley relay, and outdoors in the 800 and 1,500 meters. Webb was a five-time ODAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, two-time USTFCCCA Academic All-American, and a two-time ODAC Athlete of the Meet at the outdoor championship. She was the first athlete in conference history to sweep the 800, 1,500, and 5,000 meters in a single ODAC outdoor meet, achieving that feat as a sophomore. A 13-time ODAC Champion, she capped her senior season with a ninth-place finish in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Championship.Â
In cross country, Webb earned First Team All-ODAC and All-South/Southeast Region honors twice, placed second at the 2008 ODAC Championship, and qualified for the NCAA Championship. Â
 Her excellence extended beyond athletics—she earned a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, a Fulbright Scholarship, and was honored with the 2009 William McHenry Female Scholar-Athlete Award. Webb was also tabbed W&L’s valedictorian and received the 2009 Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award.Â
