STANFORD, Calif. – The Payton Jordan Invitational, in its 22nd year, has become the destination for fast distance running, and more magic on the track is expected Friday night at Cobb Track and Angell Field.
Last year's meet included three national records, and three world-leading, eight U.S.-leading, and seven collegiate-leading marks. In addition, the meet provided launching points for 2016 Olympians such as Matthew Centrowitz, the first American to win an Olympic 1,500 since 1908, and steeplechaser Evan Jager, who captured silver. Both Centrowitz and Jager are scheduled to compete once again.
To comprehend the quality and depth of these races, consider that 52 men broke 14 minutes in the 5,000 last year and 41 women broke 16 minutes. In addition, 34 women broke 33 minutes in the 10,000 and 33 men broke 29.
Twice, the U.S. 10,000 record has been broken at the Payton Jordan, first by Meb Keflezighi (27:13.98) in 2001 and then by Chris Solinsky (26:59.60) in 2010.
The men's racing features two of the nation's top collegiate runners -- Oregon's Edward Cheserek and Justyn Knight of Syracuse. And Stanford junior Olivia Baker, the 2016 NCAA women's outdoor 800 runner-up, will be seeking a fast time as well. Last year, 17 school records were broken.

Notes: There aren't many collegians in the meet, but two of the most acclaimed are in this race. Oregon's Edward Cheserek has won 17 individual NCAA titles, a record, and takes on Justyn Knight of Syracuse, who set a Canadian junior national record in this race two years ago and was the NCAA cross country runner-up last fall. It's not out of the question to keep an eye on the absolute collegiate record, of 13:08.24, by Arizona's Lawi Lalang indoors in 2012 … Garrett Heath earned nine All-America honors at Stanford and served as an assistant coach under Chris Miltenberg. Heath has excelled in both the 1,500 and 5,000, but has gained his most recognition in short-course cross country, twice winning Scotland's prestigious Great Edinburgh race … Matthew Centrowitz, the reigning Olympic 1,500 champion, will race in the second section of this event, along with former Stanford star Jim Rosa.

Notes: This, as always, promises to be one of the meet's biggest races … Patrick Tiernan, the Australian via Villanova, was the NCAA cross country champ last fall in a significant victory over Edward Cheserek … Shadrack Kipchirchir, the former Oklahoma State star, was second at the U.S. Olympic Trials last year after making the U.S. team for the 2015 World Championships.
