Should’ve raced Penn Relays.
Should’ve raced Penn Relays.
3:57.31 3rd mile.
It blows m mind that they spend MIllions on the track tens of thousands on the broadcast and can't tell us what the pacing light pace is.
57 first 400 for Teare (I'm a bit behind, I rewound to get his 400 splits - not 440).
15:52 final time teare closed in 3:53
why did hocker and teare ever think this was possible with those two no-names on their relay? lol what a joke
and all hocker could muster was 3:57??
Hocker aint Jack Sh*t without a pacer.
Hocker didn’t do his job.
So in a normal race

Just checked out the Oregon Track and Field page and found out that Cooper Teare, Cole Hocker, James West and Matt Wisner will attempt to break the 4x 1 Mile world record set by Ireland (15:49.08) which is equivalent to a 3:57 average per mile. They are calling all potential 4x1 teams to challenge them for this event! Everyone is hoping for the Newberry Park squad to enter! What’re y’all’s thoughts? Is there a realistic squad of 4 that can beat the Oregon 4 right now in this event, also, will they break the record??
I guess great time but missing the world best has to fall on cole since i had never even heard of the other two before this event was announced so wouldn't expect then to be positive contributors
Give me a fXDing break. I feel like I just got stood up for the prom. jfk. I don't really care but that was pathetic. Grow some balls and go to Penn next week and compete, you pack of losers!
I'm a cole fan but he totally shat the bed tonight - wow
FWIW, Teare's time is probably the fastest ever 4 x mile split.
Running alone ain't that easy. Cooper's anchor is quite good considering. Yeah, would have fun seeing them at PR.
And by probably I mean definitely.
Cole MF Hocker strikes again.
Will only ever be good with someone's shoulder to race off in a slow race.
Teare >>> Hocker

Look at what all 4 Irish runners' PRs were and the time they ended up running. 4xMile relay is extremely difficult. "Duck Track Club" will have to work to break 16. It will be impressive, but a WR (or world best) is no shoe-in.
Not even a super-shoe-in as we now know.

The announcers say it's hard to get a 4 x mile split. It's tno that hard. They went out super hard on the first leg. Held on for 3:59 which is good. The record is history now.
People consistently underestimate how hard it is to run a mile near your PR pace without anyone else to run against. First leg had the easiest job. There is a reason that 4 Irish milers with PRs adding up to 15:28 ran "only" 15:49. It's a darn hard race. Oregon disrespected the sport thinking they could waltz their way to a WR, and they got burned for it!
So hard to judge runners whe they're running alone and not fresh. Granted, both Cole & Cooper did pacing work yesterday (Cole ran 1200 of the 1500) and Cooper did about 3K of the 5K. Maybe Cole's stint affected him more. I'm sure they're looking at it as a fun thing to do.
