If Teare runs anywhere near a WR, I'll be shocked. No American is in the same tier as Goose this year.
Totally agree. No way is it going to happen for Teare
Teare ran 3:50.4 in college 2 years ago. Not crazy to think he runs 3:48 if he is in even slightly better shape and gains a second from running on BU's track.

There's one more fast meet at Boston University this year and it's happening on Sunday, February 26. The marquee event is the men's mile, where there will be attempts on the American record and the NCAA record according to meet director Dave Callum.
As things stand, the first heat will be targeting 3:47. The AR is 3:47.38 by Yared Nuguse, and it's worth noting the WR is 3:47.01 by Yomif Kejelcha. So if the AR goes down, there's a good chance the WR goes down too.
Cooper Teare is the guy looking to run fast in that heat. Charles Philibert-Thiboutot, Henry Wynne, Vincent Ciattei, Eric Holt, Thomas Ratcliffe, Evan Jager, and Reed Brown are currently projected to be in that heat too (heats aren't finalized yet).
What's interesting is the second heat could go even faster. Right now that heat includes: Johnny Gregorek, Joe Waskom, Brian Fay, Nathan Green, Sam Prakel, Kieran Lumb, Sam Ellis, Geordie Beamish, Luke Houser, Aidan Ryan, Aaron Ahl, and AJ Ernst. So basically, Andy Powell's guys plus Beamish and Ernst. (I'm curious if Ernst is pacing since he's done a great job pacing on the circuit this year). They're going after the collegiate record of 3:50.39 by Cooper Teare.
Other notable entries:
-Connor Burns taking one more run at the HS mile record
-Sophia Gorriaran in 800
-Sinclaire Johnson in 3kMeet will be on Flotrack. Full entries/schedule here:
is cole hocker not entered? new gen just released a video saying that they’d be racing each other tomorrow so i thought that meant he was running it

Not crazy at all. 3:48-3:49 should be the expectation. If he can’t break 3:50 at BU, he’s going mildly backwards. 3:47.4 is ambitious but you never know.
I listened to the latest coffee club pod today and she said she is pacing it, was she ever not pacing and actually planning on racing?
I believe she said pacing the sound running 10k
Sure looks like Hocker is in. That makes Heat 1 waaay more interesting.
(Eh false alarm, comments on YT indicate he’s out)
Honesty wonder if Teare could run 3:47, because Goose might be closer to 3:45 fitness with the 25 sec close

All you goons calling for the fastest guys to be thrown in one heat have clearly never run in a professional field before. With so many runners all knocking on the door of 3:50, putting everyone in one heat will result in over half the heat not running faster than 3:52 due to space on the track. Separating the faster runner benefits both groups because the faster guys will have room on the track but still enough competition and the slower guys will be able to hang on to a fast pace.
Vig uses this strategy at his Princeton invitationals especially in the 1500 when shooting for regional qualifiers and it works quite well.
I was going to post something like this before reading yours and I agree. You need room to move.

This is correct, she talked about being asked to pace The TEN through a 15-minute 5k, and then go another 1000 meters, which was going to be quite an effort.
She did sound like Boston was on the table, but I wonder if there's not sufficient depth of field for her to go after the fast time she wanted (I have not looked at the field, and this assumes there's not some physical reason she dropped, since she had hamstring issues about a month ago).
Cooper was in 3:48-49 shape last year,
when he ran 3:50 they went out in 1:57.7
and closed in like 1:52,
however this years’ American record is a bit harder.
