How to measure CPU, MEM usage and more for a short lived process

I've got a program with some compiled sorting algorithms, and I'm trying to use top to monitor its cpu and ram usage. Normally this would be fine, given that the process runs for a few minutes, however, the issue is that sometimes the program only runs for a few milliseconds (small dataset) and doesn't appear in the list in top. Is there something like the time command that I could use to spawn the process and begin monitoring until it terminates (WSL2 Ubuntu)? I have several datasets to run several algorithms on in best/worst/avg sorting order to do a basic analysis on.
