Webb weaves her way back to track

Late last summer Webb, a senior at Shelby County High School, had surgery to repair a torn labrum in her hip. That forced Webb, who finished fifth as a sophomore and 12th as a junior at the Class AA state cross-country meet, to miss her senior season.

This spring, though, Webb has worked her way back onto the track for the Rockets. She will be there again today in the Class AA, Region 3 track & field meet at North Oldham.
