The big shocker was Cole Hocker, America's 1500m sensation in 2021, went home in round 1.

The USA Track and Field Championships start Thursday. Play in our simple and fun prediction contest.

Jakob Ingebrigsten's 3:46.46 mile -- the fastest in the world since 2001 -- was the highlight as Keely Hodgkinson (1:57.71) won again and Alicia Monson ran 14:31.11 (#3 all-time US) in the 5,000.

Kentucky's Cade Flatt is the second fastest 800m high schooler ever. Flatt, who is known to wear an MMA type jacket with “FLATT” on the back before races, says that will change Friday night when he races at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals in Philly. Then next week, he's stepping up to take on the pros at USA nationals next weekend.

What a meet. We recap it all for you including the 800 where the world leader got the job done and a historically fast men’s steeplechase.
