It's currently 16:03.24 set by, you guessed it, Oregon back in 2009 (Rupp, Centro, Wheating, Biwott). It seems like the should. They got 3 guys who can run under 3:58 (Winn, Gregorek, Ches) and it looks like Jenkins could probably hit 4 or under...

It would be a good year to try it. They could have a heck of an A and B squad battle.
It would be fun to see the fans let down on the track, and rock music blasting again.

I don't see why not, they should easily get the record, mater-a-fact, I'm surprised the 2009 Oregon squad didn't go faster, Rupp/Centro/Wheating/Biwott, even solo (which I'm assuming it was) they should've broken 16
Cheserek- 3:53
Winn- 3:57
Gregorek- 3:57
Jenkins- 3:56/3:57
Goeghegan- 3:58

No, they don't start racing untl mid May. Before that they charge people money to watch them train and do time trials. They even train thru Penn Relays. They will run 16:15 at Penn, which I believe is a 4 X 1600 anyway. That is the only team they will put together
Not sure what you're taking about - they ran 16:09.67 last year with the some solid splits on leg 2,3 & 4. Sam Prakel (4:11.4), Edward Cheserek (3:56.4), Eric Jenkins (4:01.5), Mac Fleet (4:00.4). If they improve their first leg and replace Fleet's time, they'll have the record.

And it would prove what, other than that the best milers currently sign with Oregon/OTC/NOP?
It is a world championship year, to hell with the stupid off-distance relays. The Kenyan 4x1500 last year easily outclasses anything an American team can do anyhow. If they ran 4x1mile they'd probably break 15:30.
Villanova with Williamz Denault Mcentee Tiernan would be interesting
The only reason to think they can't is the long tradition, including 2009, of teams running about 10 seconds slower than the sum of their PRs.

re: "I don't see why not, they should easily get the record, mater-a-fact"
I think Shaddy only ran split 4:03 on that relay.
Penn Relays runs a full 4xMile. The issue is they would have to be committed to running hard on the first leg, which rarely happens. Michigan ran 16:04 at Penn and is more impressive than the 16:03 "race" Oregon ran at home that was set up just to get the record.
Georgetown had 4 men under 4 in the same race. Nova has sub 16:00 on paper, as well.
Oregon could make 2 teams with sub 16:00 potential.
Ches, Gregorek, Geoghegan, Winn, Jenkins (relay split), Prackel and Elkaim have all broken 4 and Colby Alexander ran 4:00 this winter and 3:42 last spring.
DUCKS 4 X mile
Alexander 3:59, 3:41
Chez 3:56, 3:36
Elkaim 3:59
Geohegan 3:58
Gregorek 3:57
Jenkins 3:56 (relay)
Prakel 3:41
Winn 3:57
There's your two teams from the same school with sub 16 potential....

This is the real collegiate record. I think that many people don't know how fast this converts to for the now "4xMile" that Penn runs.
4×1,500m Record
