’88 Alum Runs NYC Marathon and Makes It Count for WSS!

Classmates Donate Over $10,000 for 25^th Anniversary Gift

Qualifying for the ING New York City Marathon does not come easily. It goes without saying, therefore, that competing in this grueling race (26.2 miles) is no stroll in Central Park. For Dexter Webb, member of the graduating class of 1988, completing the 2013 marathon on November 3 is an accomplishment of which he feels quite proud… and he should!

As he approached his 40th birthday, Dexter decided he wanted to do something significant to herald in his fortieth year. For him, qualifying for the marathon seemed just the right challenge. Towards the end of 2011, he set out in pursuit of this goal and by October 2012 had completed the required nine qualifying races for guaranteed entry into the 2013 marathon.

In preparation for the race, he continued his regular weekly runs, even packing his running shoes for his trip home earlier this year and doing several runs from his hometown, Carenage, to Macqueripe. He later embarked on an 18-week marathon-specific training program and ran two half marathons for good measure -- The Brooklyn Half in May and The Staten Island Half in October, just one month before the big race.

Dexter’s participation in the marathon caused much excitement among the Class of ‘88, whom he enlisted for a 25th anniversary fundraiser to give back to WSS by pledging to sponsor each mile he ran, starting at $10 per mile. On race day, classmates took to social media to cheer virtually and keep each other apprised of his progress through New York's 5 boroughs, following the race in real time online – every minute of it!

Despite suffering a hamstring injury at the 21 mile mark, Dexter was determined to finish, and did so in an impressive time of 3:44. Following the race, he posted a Facebook message to his former classmates saying, “I could sense good vibes all the way. I could only wish that I was able to hear [your] comments as I was running. They would have been a much-needed boost, especially during those tormenting last 5 miles.” The picong for which WSS grads are well-known was also a source of inspiration, as he jokingly said that the thoughts of ole talk from the ’88 guys kept him going while slogging through the final miles.

When the dust had settled, the Class of ’88 had pledged over $10,000 as a gift to their alma mater on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their graduation. Well done, Class of ’88!! The idea for using the race as a fundraiser came out of Dexter’s belief that class members should use this year to commemorate in a special way their years spent at WSS. More importantly, The Class of 1988 25th Anniversary Gift is intended to promote a culture of alumni giving at WSS. The hope is that other year groups will follow suit and find their own creative ways of giving back to the school.

Funds will be presented to the school at Carnival time next year, so there’s still time for those who wish to throw their support behind this laudable initiative to get involved. Please contact wgssealumni@gmail.com for more information.

So what’s next for Dexter, now that he has crossed another item off his bucket list? He hopes to participate in the NYC Marathon again in 2015, but his target for 2014 is the Chicago Marathon. He fell short of the qualifying time for the prestigious Boston Marathon, but hasn’t ruled out running Boston in the future. And if he can get into the London Marathon for 2015, he plans to run that too.

We wish him much success in the future, and applaud his efforts at making this more than just a personal accomplishment, but an opportunity to give back. Well done, Dexter! You’ve done the WSS family proud!
