Part of me would love to see an angry Hocker go out there and try and make a championship team. This might be his only opportunity in his career to run a world championship on his backyard. But is it worth the risk of re-injuring himself?
He didn’t look like he was limping or anything, he was fine til the last 50m during the 1500m. I say go for it and if you don’t make it oh well, at least you gave it a shot.
Race tomorrow for sure. As you said, the WC is basically at his backyard. He will want to make a team this year.
Is there a way to watch the race live?
I think he can be right there in the mix. The question is will he have it the last 100m because that’s what it will come down to.
He’s running tomorrow? I thought he was injured. 🤔

It’s live on USATF.tv, and on tape on USA between 5 and 6 Eastern
What is his injury? Are there any details?
Whatever he decides to do he needs to be available to the media for comment. everybody has a bad race, gets hurt, and falls short of expectation at times. I bet Hocker’s next race is electric barring substantial injury.
It would be a good story if he made the team at 5000m. Hard to see it happening, though, given that he couldn't make it out of the first round in his signature event.
Hocker should go pro. no more of this college nonsense
Due to the heat they've moved the 5Ks and women's steeple to the morning. Women's 5K is at 10:30 PDT, men's 5K at 10:53, and women's steeple at 11:15. It's expected to be high 70s/low 80s at those times rather than high 80s/low 90s later on.
when they lose
1. injured
2. injured
3. injured
I thought he was injured.

If it’s enough for him to supposedly take two weeks off of training, not sure that racing a longer distance would be smart. It would have to depend on the injury.

Based on his performance in his 1500m heat, the last 5000m of the race will be a problem for him.
he should do whatever Scott Fauble thinks he should do!!!!

I thought he ran injured in his earlier race? Why would he run injured again?
