Many on the messageboard seemingly have been panicking about Kessler this spring, but Kessler certainly isn't panicking. I caught up with a confident Kessler on Thursday in Eugene.
"Fitness wise, everything is coming together well. I'm slightly ahead of last year at this time so I'm pretty happy where I'm at... I just want to prove I can be competitive in these races."
A Hobbs Kessler/Colin Sahlman/Gary Martin showdown can't happen soon enough for me
Well, he ran his 3:34 on May 29 last year.
He is running the 1500 at Pre on 5/28/22.
Good chance to compare
The race didn’t play out the way we had planned but I’m really pleased with how we closed and I know my fitness is right where it need to be right now.
—Hobbs at the mix zone after Pre
Yeah, baby!
He handled that sensitive question better than most seasoned pros would. With humility, confidence and no sign of defensiveness. Hard not to root for Hobbs.

I am rooting for him.
But indoor results are troubling
People keep looking for year over year linear improvement, I don't think "troubling is a word I would use. He ran a mile PR for indoors at 3:57 lower than last year and 7:59 , only really running last last 1000. He will be fine,
Anyone know how to watch a stream of this race? Doesn't seem to be on USATF.TV+, and it starts before the Diamond League coverage gets going so I'm not betting on it being broadcast there either?
I had been looking for days with no success. No one I know , knew how to access either.
Hoping peacock feed starts early
