Four person field with Cooper Teare, Cole Hocker, James West, and Lawi Lalang. Does anyone know if this is an American record attempt? Teare ran the standard at NCAAs last year.

If Klecker and Bor have the 10000m standard for performances last May 14th, why doesn't Teare have the 5000m standard for his 13:12 last June at NCAA's?

I would expect West to pace this one. But only one rabbit? If they're going for a sub-13, I doubt he'll make it past 2,400m. Perhaps they just want the world standard, in which case their rabbit can make it a bit further.
I'm a Hocker and Teare fan, but what is up with these unpublicized (and yes I'm aware I just made up that word), private time trials? Nobody had any idea this was happening until you posted this thread. We still don't know what the goal is here. I don't mind time trials, but I would like to know about them without having to either dig into the entries of a small outdoor meet, or trawl through the boards of LetsRun.
I know people don't like this, but I wish they would hype up their races/TTs a bit more. It would be #Goodforthesport.
Also, it would be nice to see Lawi run well again, though I doubt it'll happen.
In all, I'm happy this is happening, but kind of confused about the whole situation.
Why are there 2 5ks almost back to back, with one having 8 people and the other with 4? Its not like its indoor track where you are lapping guys and have tight turns.
Even-paced 13 flat would be 4:11 for the mile or 7:48 for 3000m. If they can get pacing to 3k in around 7:55, I bet that they can pick up the pace a lot for the last 2k. It would take 4:58 to get close to the AR from there, but that's about what Fisher did indoors. If they're just going for the standard, they can just go out in 8 flat and close in about 5:10 and have it with room to spare.

Appears they are not back-to-back.
Running events begin @ 1pm so the college portion of the meet will conclude by 5pm.
However, per Stanford's meet preview below, this special 5k invite is scheduled for 7pm:
Rain in the forecast for the duration of the meet but clearing up by 6pm.
I’m confident they will go under the standard. If I’m not mistaken, the facility record is from Ben true when he ran 13:02 like 10 or so years ago. I think they can break that with the fitness they showed indoors. I’m assuming this will be their only 5k of the regular season so hopefully they do something special. I will purchase a flotrack subscription just to watch The Hocker and Teare show. Hopefully it’s worth it.
