I would buy Cole Hocker, seems like he’s a little sturdier-built than most of the field which will prove useful as my (well paid and gainfully employed) farmhand

And Rotich -- a steeplechaser, in last -- with a new lifetime pr, following his 13:17 indoor pr from February.

The time would have broken the WR on this date in 1972.

The reindeer milk Finnish guy ran 3:16.4 on 9/14/1972, only lose his WR less than a week later to Belgian Puttemans on 9/20/1972. …

An interesting fact about those two WRs is that records were set in the home country of each runner.

Another interesting fact about the 5k WR is that from 1912–1942, the WR was set seven times, each time in the home country of the record setter – Finland for the first six, before Sweden "upset" them the stranglehold in 1942 (30 years of Finland glory).

Finally … the only runners who set 5k WRs on their home turf were Scandinavians. Every one. Reindeer milk is was a powerful drink.

how much for the 13:15 guy? A 13:15 American would be near peak, but that's a Kalenjin-American

Even the 17-year-old Ethiopian did it! He's running well this year at 3:34/7:33/12:54, only 40 seconds ahead of the fastest American 17 year old of all time. He'd be about #5 all-time on the American list ... at 17!!

re: Sound it out ...

everything is way deeper and most of the world records are also pretty recent, but notice that 30 years after haile's golden years a sub-12:50 still doesn't happen too often
