Dean Webb, also known as zzzptm, is a former Academic Decathlete for the Richardson Berkner High School team in 1986, and is now a current Academic Decathlon coach of the same school as well as a current member (and subscriber) to DemiDec.
1986 Season
Not much is known about Dean Webb's performance, except that he won scholarship money based on his performance as well as his team's performance. Berkner finished second in state in 1986 to that year's National Champion and rival, J.J. Pearce. A joke around the acadectalk website notes that his 1986 score, if adjusted for inflation, would be 14,971.8 in today's points.
Coaching Berkner
Dean Webb returned to Academic Decathlon to coach the same school he competed with in 2003(?). Berkner made its first state appearance since 2001 at the 2005 Texas State Championship. He has since led his team (alongside Tanya Gregson) to six more state berths in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. 2007 was a breakthrough year for Webb and Berkner, as they finished third in Super Quiz relay and third Overall in Super Quiz.
