Camerieri runs 13:26.58 WL, Wuga runs 15:26.58 WL at Stanford Invitational, Hicks wins tight 10,000m in 27:57.47, Venters runs big PB in 31:48.35

The Stanford Invitational has been one of my favorite events for 43-plus years. I ran the 10,000m in 1980. For most of the 1990s and up until 2018, I enjoyed the Stanford Invite as one of my openings meets of the outdoor season each year. The distance carnival, held on Friday night, was always a treat.

PALO ALTO (USA, Mar 31): World-leading 5000 m times at Stanford Invitational. Anthony Camerieri 13:26.58 PB among men and Chinese He Wuga 15:26.58 among women.
