Centro 4:20, Prakel 3:54, Hunter 3:58, Gregorek 3:54
We changed the title. It initially was titled, "Centro goes for WR, this Friday"

If the record is 15:49, could UW get it? They have 8 guys, all sub-4 and the best are in the low 3:50s. You "only" need to average 3:54-3:55 to get the record.
It seems like they might have had a better chance this winter than the Duck Alumni do right now. Shoulda, coulda gone for it!

Get rid of centro, put in Hocker and Cooper Teare.

whether we like it or not centro is an Oregon legend so he's going to rack in a lot of money

I don't think they'll go with Hunter because of a rule saying it can't count as a WR if you're not from the same country (or something similar)

Rupp coming out of the wood work to run 3:50 point again would be sick but I think his days of breaking 4 are long over

There wasn’t already a thread on this because nobody cares. WTF is 4*1mile?
4*1 miles must mean 4 laps per "mile" on a 400m track. They will set a the WR for 4x1600m. High school runners will rejoice.

If you look at the post and the shadow of the runner its pretty clear Jackson Mestler will be the 4th runner

Going for the 4 x mile WR might be a moot point, since World Athletics doesn't recognize the event (only recognize 4x1, 4x2, 4x4, 4x8, 4x15, road relay & DMR), so they can take a shot at the world best.
Will they get tested if they break the listed world best?

Averaging 3:57 would do it.

This.
Fake event.
Nobody outside the US gives AF.
Gregorek and Prakel or OK, but scrubs on a global level. Centro has done nothing notable for years. If this team can break it it is a joke time to begin with. Give me any four guys in the Kenyan 1500 final and I’ll give you a faster time lol.

I’d say it’s not quite as easy as you’re making it out to be. Many of the legs are run solo. 4 times on a windy backstretch gets really old.

Bro, it’s 3:57.5 with super shoes. That is not an impressive mile time for professional milers in 2023. I don’t care if they have to run alone - oh no! I wonder if there will be pace lights?
Regardless, if the three pros can’t break 3:57.5 they are in trash shape. I don’t really care about the fourth guy - except for maybe Charlie hunter - as they are not real professionals.

The record is 3:57.27 x 4. To break it, you would need 3:57.27 x 3 and a 3:57.26, for example. Or at any rate you need to average something less than 3:57.27 to break it. Just offering facts myself and not commenting on the level of difficulty. It would be difficult as hell for most runners. Now could there be a college team that could threaten this? Possibly. I cannot rule it out.

Cooper Teare?
I don’t know if he and Centro would have the best camaraderie. I always got the vibe Centro didn’t get along well with Cooper Teare, Evert Silva, or Ben Crawford
Not sure if anyone gets along with evert silva. Something about an incredible number of sexual assault/harassment reports leading up to him leaving Portland...

Putting 4 of those together running solo in Oregon spring weather is far more difficult than one might think. I feel pretty strongly that you’re really underestimating the record. I guess we’ll see tomorrow night.

See if four scrubs can beat a fake scrub “world best”?
Sure.
YAWWWWWWWNNNN.

Dyestat says the 4th member is Hunter.
But what I'm wondering is what happened to this being a big pro meet with $100k in prize money and travel support? A few months ago, we were told the Brooks Beasts were coming as was the University of Washington. I assumed the 4 x mile WR would fall as a result.
I just went to the UW site and don't see anything on it. Did they pull out? Are they going to Penn? What about the Beasts?

Why did you change the thread title to add teams that aren't even at the meet let alone going for the record?
