College career

At Texas A&M, Webb was the 200 meter champion at the 2013 NCAA Division I Indoor Championships and the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships.^[4] Prior to Texas A&M he ran for Cerritos College, where he was the 2011 CCCAA State Champion in both the 100 meters and 200 meters.^[5] He had run for Tustin High School, finishing fifth in the 200 meters at the 2009 CIF California State Meet behind Randall Carroll's sweep of both sprinting events. Webb was a dual-sport student-athlete (track & field and football) at Tustin High for all 3 and 1/2 years he attended there. He attended a small charter school during his first semester of his junior year. The charter school had no sports program. He returned to Tustin for his second semester of his junior year. As a senior, he started both ways and helped lead the football team to its first CIF championship title game in a decade. They eventually fell to a Ronnie Hillman-led La Habra football team.^[6]

Professional career

He competed at the 2014 IAAF World Relays in the finals, but due to his involvement in an exchange infraction the team was disqualified.^[7]

Webb won the 200 meters at the 2016 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix with a meet record of 19.85 (+1.9 m/s).^[8] That time ranks him tied with John Capel, Konstadinos Kederis and Nickel Ashmeade as the number 25 performer in history. He competed at the 2016 Olympics.,^[1] reaching the semi-finals. On June 25, 2017, Webb won the 200 meters at the 2017 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a time of 20.09 seconds, thus qualifying for the 2017 World Championships in Athletics.
