Hocker (12:57.82) got a pb and edged training mate Teare (12:57.97) as both went under the 13:01.00 Worlds standard. Powell ran 3:56.66 to take a second off Hobbs Kessler's HS indoor record while Crater (OR)'s Josiah Tostenson (3:57.47) and Tayvon Kitchen (3:59.61) became the first HS teammates to break 4:00 in the same race.

We take one final look at yet another riveting US Olympic Trials and wonder - What do most of the Olympians have in common, which pro groups had the best and worst Trials, why were tv ratings up but attendance down? Plus some free advice to USATF on how to make the Trials more entertaining.

HOw to make, pro team

Plus can Matthew Centrowitz make a 4th Olympic team at his final Trials? *MB My Predictions for the US Men’s 1500 Olympic Team

We share the 6 Biggest Storyline For The 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials — Track & Field. Who is the fastest man and woman in America? Can SML and Grant Holloway break the WRs? How do Athing Mu and Ryan Crouser look in their 2024 outdoor debuts? And what happens in the greatest event in track - the men's 1500?

Last week, Cole Hocker and Cooper Teare both broke 13:00 in LA but what does that mean in an era where 12:58 places you 11th in the race? And we explain how it was a good week for Paul Chelimo, Matthew Centrowitz, Jake Wightman, Hobbs Kessler, Hillary Bor, Matthew Wilkinson, Diribe Welteji, Elle St. Pierre, Madie Boreman, Kate Grace, Ceili McCabe, Rose Davies, Joselyn Daniely Brea, Prudence Sekgodiso, Fiona O'Keeffe, and Elly Henes and a tough week for Grant Fisher, Evan Jager, Clayton Murphy, Letsile Tebogo, Abel Kipsang, Josh Thompson, Ajee Wilson, Courtney Frerichs, and Raevyn Rogers. And it was good and bad for Jakob Ingebrigtsen who didn't even race.

The runners from Africa ran in the back early but dominated late and went 1-2-3-4 as Grant Fisher was fifth (12:53.30). Teammates Cooper Teare (12:54.72, 9th) and Cole Hocker (12:58.92, 11th) broke 13:00 for the 1st time. In the women's 5000, Elle St. Pierre lowered her pb from 14:58.17 to 14:34.14 and won as Venezuela's Joselyn Brea set a South American record in 2nd (14:36.59).

In track and field, did you know you can win when you lose and lose when you win? We explain. Plus Nico Young and Colin Sahlman remain on fire. And why are the men's 100 guys so slow?

Ethiopia's Fotyen Tesfay (14:44) set a course record in the women's 5K while Casey Comber (4:08) won the men's mile.

The USA xc meet is in the books and we have 6 takeaways. Plus indoor track gets started this way with a big men's 5000 in Boston. How fast will Yared Nuguse run and might Nico Young become the first collegian to break 13:00?

Teare became the first man in 56 years to win US titles in the 1500 and XC while Kelati won by 37 seconds just six days after setting the half marathon AR.

Cole Hocker, Cooper Teare, & Drew Hunter are among the notable names challenging defending champ Emmanuel Bor and his ace steepler brother Hillary. *MB: 2024 USATF Cross Country Champs - Hocker, Teare, Kelati and more!!

Rojo says there isn't a Big 4 of US 1500m running in Cooper Teare, Cole Hocker, Yared Nuguse, and Hobbs Kessler as he adds in a 5th - Nathan Green. Which of these studs will go home devastated?

Cooper Teare and Sam Prakel both got beat.

Katelyn Tuohy, Alicia Monson and Elise Cranny will have NCAA/American records in mind in the women's 3000 while the men's 3000 features a rematch of Geordie Beamish and Cooper Teare (plus Luis Grijalva and Josh Kerr).

Teare's former training partner Cole Hocker will remain coached by Ben Thomas. *MB: Cooper Teare joins the BTC!!!

Teare did visit the hospital on Sunday after cutting his finger but will be fine for Worlds. *Cooper Teare Hospitalized???

The men's 1500 was tactical and Cooper Teare still won. Sinclaire Johnson blew everyone away in the women's 1500 and Evan Jager has never been so happy to lose a race in his life.

The big shocker was Cole Hocker, America's 1500m sensation in 2021, went home in round 1.

From Elaine Thompson-Herah and Sha'Carri Richardson in the 100 to Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Cole Hocker in the Bowerman Mile, the world and America's best are all in Eugene this weekend.

The meet was a bit underwhelming as Caldwell was the only athlete to hit the World Championship standard on the night. In other action, Neil Gourley took down Cole Hocker and won the men’s 1500 in 3:35.43 and Evan Jager struggled over the final 150 in the men’s steeple and Emma Coburn ran 4:09 in the women's 1500. The most entertaining race of the night may have been the B heat of the men's 800 with Cooper Teare and HS sensation Colin Sahlman.
