Teare will be sharper for the big races. Hobbs looked thrilled and was great to see. Very good news for Centro as his fitness is heading into good form. From his disappointing mile to this is very positive.
. As I have said to tens or hundreds of posters on here. Progress is not always and rarely linear. His 3:34.x in a race was not what he was, but it demonstrated to many what they hoped or thought he could be. Yet many over the last 18 months had said what happened? The process happened. then he runs 4 of the 5 fastest 15's of all time at 20 or under. No one cared. he then ran 1:46.7 and 2:16 for 1000 at 19. Then flopped at Indoor mile..then 7:39 which I think 5 collegians all time have run? At still 19? And still the doubters came on. Not one of those could run 2:16 on roller blades. As a different college coach said to me " I do not always know what it isn't" But I always know what it is. Today is a good day for U.S. running, a happy kid, running very well, and the naysayers? I say..well ya know .....Not one other 20 year old other than Hocker has run this.
