Cole Hocker 3:45.94 Mile

Closed with 2 27s he looked really good but shocked at how far Ruthe was back from him

American record

28.521 / 28.249 / 28.682 / 28.785 / 28.760 / 28.124 / 27.479 / 27.339

56.770 / 1:54.236 / 2:51.119 / 3:45.937

I’d say conservatively paced not poorly. He uncorked that last 600 and he squeezed it beautifully.

that is perfect pacing

Honestly I felt like it was hell of a race and pace job from him. Didn't burn the matches too early but wasn't out at a pedestrian pace

Yep, can't ask for much better

Yeah could he go out a second faster through 1009 and run a few fractions faster? Maybe, but this is a great way to run and set himself up to control races when necessary

What?? That was perfectly paced. Could he have broken the world record today? Maybe. But we'll find out soon enough.

Good learning for Ruthe as he's never had to race alongside people and fight for the inside. Definitely burnt too much too early trying to get into a comfortable position - still wouldn't have been remotely close to Hocker though but I'm sure could have finished stronger.

Jakob ran 56.39 / 1:52.55 / 2:48.39 / 3:45.14
he came through at 3:29.63 and slowed to 15.51 over the final 100m after running sub-14.18 the entire rest of the race

On BU track he would've run 3:43. Sam ran his 3:48 there, compared to 3:52 today.

jakobs split are 400-800-1200 , Hockers splits are 409-809-1209

And Jakobs 15.51 split is for 109 meters, he slowed only a little bit

True, and Jakob was focusing on the 1500 split, so he had to just hold on the last 109

good catch, and that was then a 109m to end it from Jakob

Actual 1500 split of 3:30.80 - joins Ingebrigtsen as the only people to run 3:30 or under for the indoor 1500

Very good result. He should be a favorite for World Indoors unless someone pulls out a crazy time in the last two European meets (Lievin and Orlen Cup).

Yeah, so a 16 year-old has a bad day trying to keep up with the Olympic champion, who almost breaks the world record, and still runs 3:52.
