Guy wouldn’t even win ncaa’s. But wins some cross country race across the water and is all of a sudden all over running media. Looks like my desk in middle school by the end of school year with all that crap drawn on his arms and legs. Get over the guy already
Didn't he just win the European XC championships?

3:28 in the Olympics for Gold bro. Try harder. No one in NCAA could challenge him from 1500 up.
Cole Hocker would’ve beaten him last summer if he wasn’t coming off of winning ncaas. Hocker had a much harder season having to peak for nationals then turn around for the trials and then the games. Hocker beats Jacob 9 Times out of 1 any distance
I hereby declare a temporary ceasefire against Yakob fans because I hate Hole Cocker fans more.
Listen, Hole Cocker will never beat Yakob. Slow Hocker and the NCAA are the G League of distance running.

So true! Jakob ran 3:31 indoor and only took it down to 3:28 (hardly beating his old PR) by the end of the season. Hocker went into the Olympics a 3:35 guy and left a 3:31 guy. He absolutely would've run 3:27 or better in the Olympics if he hadn't had to peak for indoor NCAAs, outdoor NCAAs, trials, and the Olympics.
great thread. lol
Hole Cocker will never crack 3:29
Maybe
Not if he continues to run like a girl.

He'll crush Jakob at WCs this summer
Hocker beats Jacob in 9 months after professional training. Then some of you scrubs can stop blabbering about him. But seriously what’s with the marker all over his arms
henrik should go back to texas a&m

It’s clear that next year American distance running finally breaks through without the help of naturalized citizens.
In 2022 we should expect to see:
Mantz defeating Kipchoge in a marathon major
And in Eugene…..
Fisher* over Barega in the 10K (*born in Canada, but close enough)
Teare defeats Chep in the 5K
Hocker defeats JI in the 1500

Too funny. Are you still steaming over the fact that Hocker beat all your boyz and ended up higher in the Olympic final than any of them?
I remember leading up to the Olympics so many posters on here were saying Cole Hocker would only ever be a 3:35 guy at best and wouldn't make it past the heats. He's now a 3:31 guy and placed 6th in his first Olympics. He keeps proving the naysayers wrong.

There is still plenty to say nay about. Sub 3:30 ever? Nay. AR ever? Nay. OG? Nay.
Not dissing the guy! He's pretty good. But be serious.
If he was born 1991 I would agree, but he was born in 2001. So completely disagree. He just established his baseline.
I would not be surprised if Hocker went 3:27 mid in 2-3 years.
0/10.
