On broadcast sounds like he is loaded. Bought 150 acres and built a track in Pennsylvania during Covid according to broadcast.

Wasted a ton of money just to have him tank at the trials lol. Privilege can only get you so far.
Thinking the same thing. Seems a bit overboard given that the sons are good but not great. Dad seems to be crushing his sons.
He owns an investment company in West Chester Pa

He also burns bridges with everyone he can, hence the need for a private track.
Met him. DB
Probably only $500k for the land and track.
Honestly, if I was extremely loaded, I’d build this.

$500k was my guesstimate also.
If he knew son would choke and run 1:50 he never would've bought that track.
Chill the kid is just out of high school and is running well for being in the slow heat at the olympic trials. most ppl never make it there and he’s got time to improve

Josh was just out of high school in August of 2018 when the below article was published. 3 years later is is 3 seconds slower with no free college education. He had planned to run for Oregon. I hope he is not just another struggling Adidas runner like Drew Hunter. The article mentions a number of other high school athletes that went profession. While some have experienced success in their professional careers I can't same the same for the middle distance and distance runners: Drew Hunter, Mary Cain, Alexa Efraimson.
The old article stated he would "run with The Mission Athletic Club in San Diego" and "train under coach Terrence Mahon. A founding director and coach of the B.A.A. Performance Program in Boston, Mahon left the position earlier this year to start the San Diego pro training group which now includes former gold medalist in the 800m at the European Championships in 2012, Lynsey Sharp."
Why was Josh trainning on his father's track and not training with other professional runners this past year? What happened? Yes, there was the pandemic but that would not stop training elsewhere on a track with others runners.
https://www.podiumrunner.com/events/18-year-old-josh-hoey-signs-pro-contract-adidas/Come on his "contract" from day one had to be minimal if anything at all beyond gear. He was not worth a real investment by adidas. Surely daddy is paying all his bills and the kid gets to live a pro life until they realize he will never make a sr team.

Again, see my post above about dad burning bridges…
The three Hoey brothers ran at three different high schools in the span of about five years (maybe less). The oldest ran at Penn State for about 30 seconds before “transferring” to Oregon to run with the middle brother, before they both bailed out on that too to sign with Adidas. Sad to say, that deal hasn’t worked out well for either brother.

No way. He bought 150 acres. That alone is going to be expensive. You can spend 500k just resurfacing a track. Not building one from scratch.
What I think is pretty funny is that Kenyans and Ethiopians kick butt and each country has like 1 good track. The great thing about track is that you don't really need a track to train.
Good for the day building a track. Employed some people and that is a good thing.
His dad should have bought him a haircut. He looked like a Eugene resident on the starting line. He was out of camera view at the finish so I don’t know what he looked like at the end. Probably the same.
Nope. You can buy the land there for $300k. We just resurfaced out track for $30k.

He bought 150 acres for 300k? Then built a new track from scratch for 200k. Doubt it. Where is the land, let’s see what Zillow estimates it at.
