Some of you who get prematurely excited about Hocker should watch THIS

This thread has potential.

i think being andrew wheating would be pretty cool

Great results for Wheating and Oregon, but 3.47..?

Centro v Hocker was a much better race.

Um...those were NCAA races. Hocker just won the Olympic Trials against a gold medalist in much faster than what you just presented here.

Hocker so far has more promise than Wheating did.

Wheating not Wheaton…

And if you were smarter or more intellectually honest you would acknowledge that Centro is not in gold medal form 5 years later.

Ignorant post Flagpole. Wheaton won that 800m in 1:45, faster than Hocker has done. Hocker does NOT have more promise than what Wheaton showed before we had the benefit of hindsight. Plus Wheaton did run 1:44 and 3:30 later that year.

Ignorant post dude. What was Wheating's 5000m PR?
Exactly.

It was premature 😩

I am talking about 1:44 and 3:30. Who the hell cares what his 5000 on was? What was Seb Coe’s? How irrelevant can your nonsensical post be?

We all remember fondly when AJ Acosta solo'ed a 3:34 1500 ahead of that NCAA Championships, and Jack Bolas who was famous for solo'ing 3:36 1500s in the prelims and split 3:51 in some indoor DMR splits.

I see you are not very bright... Let me try again.
You used Wheaton's 800m time to compare him with Hocker.
You may not be aware of it but some 1500 m runners are more of the 800/1500 type, while others are more of the 1500/5000 type (like Jakob Ingebrigtsen).
My relevant post was meant to show that you are making a nonsensical comparison using their 800m PRs.

Wheating would have won the Olympic Trials but for a certain bison named Nick Symmonds.

Guess who Cole Hocker lost to in a race? That's right, Nick Symmonds.
