Yared Nuguse looked very strong in the close and put a lot of distance there on the competition. Hocker moved up well at the end but was not in contention. He has taken off a lot of time in his current series of races, which is good. So, he's making a good deal of progress after his injury to get back to where he was last year but he's still far off. Kessler wasn't there, which is good. The conditions overall were such that athletes were just hoping to compete without getting injured, have a game effort but don't ruin the end of the season. Laros looked to have pr'd by 3-4 seconds or more, right? 3:36 for the win for Nuguse.

Yes worked out as far as Kessler. With they dynamics of the race it was going to be won no faster than 3:36.0 unless an athlete decided to commit to Kipruguts pace. I’d kinda doubt Hobbs would have

Hocker still loves to hug the rail but it hurt him because the pace was slow which is not beneficial when trying to get through traffic on the inside.

It also looked like he lacked the pop/sharpness to protect his position.

Another stunning race from Cole MF Hocker.
Crazy how he's got slower now he's getting tested compared to the free rein he had the last few years.
Crazy how some of you keep posting the same tiring messages...

Niels Laros, 17yr old 3:39.46
Laros moves way up to 32nd all-time U18 in the 1500m and he's at 13th U18 in the 800m, according to the IAAF. Jakob ran 3:39.92 for U18 (he ran 3:31 shortly before he turned 18 but that doesn't count for U18, which requires that you not turn 18 that year). For context, to compare again with American high schoolers, with him at the age of a junior/starting senior right now, he'd be #1 all-time at 800m and #2 all-time junior behind Jim Ryun's 3:39.0 in 1964 and a bit further back of Kessler's 3:34 for the all-time high school performance.

Americans never like to see what's right in front of them,bit like Shelby when the rest of the world could see the obvious.

Yared has to be due for a 3:31-3:32, though it might not come until next year.

Not an American, but what are you on about, Birkoboy? You personally tested Cole, did you?

Why would he be due for that?
he has no surrounding mark on either side to validate that at all

3:34 completely solo in a conference prelim 15 months ago and handily winning some races against decent fields lately showing his health is returning actually validate that quite a bit.

Devil's advocate: 7:38 is pretty darn good, and he had a 1:49.2 closing 800m (he was in the lead) to run 3:35.6 in last year's NCAA final. It was a performance that Nick Willis himself said indicated 3:32 fitness. He's won 5 of his last 6 races, and while none of them have been particularly fast (all in 3:34.9-3:36.5), I can see the hints of him being able to go pretty quick in a race that is won in 3:30-3:32.

Nice wins for both men and women in the 1500m. I understand this is a 'B' meet and the weather looked lousy, however the stands were not filled. We bash our meets here in the US (and I have done it numerously times), but many of these European meets are not well attended either. The DL in Poland (first ever DL meet there) was also NOT well attended and neither was the famed Monaco meet this year.
Except for the CG and maybe the Euros, there is a worldwide problem with T&F / Athletics.

Not me, he ran 7:38 almost 9 months ago.He has run the 1500M 6 times, at least once in every month since May..and has run 3:34.95 in a set up race last month.
I don't see it, sorry , I have been wrong before , if he ran under 3:33.00? Well, I would take the over on that number and feel comfortable. Just my view, I see nothing recent that indicates sub 3:33.00. If I am wrong, I will come on here and say so.
