Incredible last lap and fantastic opener for him. If he got a shorter haircut I’m sure it would make him run even faster!

Was it really that incredible? Woods just ran 54 at the end of a 5000

Good interview. he said that he didn’t have a lot of confidence going into it, and said he would be happy if he ran under 3:39. Well he crushed that and now his confidence has grown significantly!

Given he’s been dealing with injuries the last 12 months or so and has barely raced it’s a pretty phenomenal first real race of the season for him. To have that kind of finishing kick based off little to no races I’d say it’s very reassuring.

This was a good interview and very honest. Hopefully the snarky critical people that tend to post a lot can empathize with what it’s like to go through repeated injuries and regain form. Good luck Cole! It’s going to be an exciting US champs.

At this pace, yes, it was pretty incredible... remarkable... impressive

Centros had his time in the sun, but Hocker’s resurgence is bad news for Teare and Kessler

After running 56s & 57s then a 54, yes, it's impressive.
Not to be confused with running 64s!!
Have you ever even run a 1:54 800?!? ...now add a 54 on the end of that!

Why so much hate for Centro? Is it the way of today’s youth to be disrespectful? I don’t get it. The guy is an Olympic champion. I think he deserves better.

Rojo: "As Hocker is back as he didn't win as he went from 12th to 2nd in the last lap as he ran the fastest last lap of the field by far as he ran 55 seconds as that was a faster last lap than anyone else as he didn't win he got second as he's BACK."

Not being disrespectful towards Centro, quite the contrary. He already had a storied career and anything else he does is the cherry on top.
I was just pointing out the Hocker is pretty good at outkicking Cooper and Yared and could spoil their fun

And Hocker closed out his race in 1:52.49 / 2:50.5 after opening at 1:56 pace. Woody? Not so fast.
