Who cares when they are too scared to go race OACs 4xmile team?

They should swap out West for Reed Brown to make it a world record attempt instead of a world best attempt. Maybe West was saving himself for the race tonight, but he ran 3:43 and Brown ran 3:36. You could also argue that Brown would be tired from his 3:36 but he’s run mile prelims/finals before and backed-up fine. Plus the super spikes would help save his legs a bit.
4xmile is not a record recognized by World Athletics so it would be a WB either way.
15:48.68
Teare 3:55.02
What time do this event start?
15.49.38
Teare 3.54.15
Hocker 3.54.35
West 3.58.23
Wisner 4.02.65
The 1985 record is good. 4 legends.
That team between them won 5 world indoor golds, 13 Wannamaker miles
Teare 3:51.6
Hocker 3:53.0
West 3:55.3
Wisner 4:00.3

No record. And isn't this James West lad British? So even if the designated 4 run faster than the 1985 time, it is a footnote not a record
15:53.50
Teare - 03:53.0
Hocker - 03:55.6
Wisner - 03:58.6
West -04:02.7

15:36. I had to go lower because of other predictions, but Wisner's faster than it seemed before.
Teare 3:52
West 3:55
Wisner 3:56
Hocker 3:52
Decimals add up to another second for 15:36.
Wisner 4:04.5
West 3:58.6
Teare 3:54.6
Hocker 3:53.9
Total: 15:55.6
My gut says no way are they breaking the record, the 4xmile is such a tough race. Looking back at the dream team Centro, Wheating, Rupp, and Shadrack Biwott all ran it in 2009 (granted they were younger) and they "only" ran 16:03 -- that crew on the whole is much more accomplished than tonight's team and I don't think the supershoes are taking off 14 seconds.
Race should go off at 10:35pm ET
15:45.32

You have to have competition to beat that record unless the team is Jakob, Tim Potato man, Josh Kerr and Ollie Hoare
It seems like we have to accept that there's an inherent ~5 second penaltyper leg for running solo. Of course that penalty doesn't apply to Wisner because he was the leadoff, but it makes sense for the other 3 legs compared to their potentials
Your guy served you well. They got 15:52
