All those pro American runners are starting to be anxious, these young guns are just kicking ass. Those Olympic trials should be pretty interesting :)

Trials on both men’s and women’s sides are gonna be SO good. USA in almost all events are powerhouses. Really exciting for the sport.

[@systemicchaos3921]

Cant wait for the trials! Should be very interesting. They should run without any fear because if they don't make it, it wont really matter because of how young they are. Interesting to see if they work together if they both run the 1500.

[@systemicchaos3921]

@@dingle117 Less events than you think, honestly. One medal in the 100, 2 medals in the 200, no medals in the 400, no medals in the 800, no medals in the 1500, one medal in the 5000, no medals in the 10000, no medals in the steeplechase, no medals in the high jump, no medals in the long jump, no medals in the triple jump, two medals in the shot put, no medals in the hammer throw, and no medals in the javelin. Not a medal in the decathlon, either. I think we need to stop praising the U.S. athletes like they're heads and shoulders above the rest, they're really not. On the men's side, they didn't sweep a single event. I could do the women but they didn't do any better really.

[@robtheredrocker]

Cooper definitely did all the work from the front in this race, but I do think its fair here since Cole had just ran a blazing mile an hour before. Cole also had to bleed big time to win this race. These guys are so good. I love how they just run all out, screw the lame tactics. When you are genuinely the best you do a tremendous disservice to yourself when you play into the "tactics" games of running.

[@arturogranados1133]

What a champion!

[@cameronmueller]

Dude Cole is insane.

[@musik102]

Well, Hocker has put the cat among the pigeons. With that finishing speed, when he and Jacob meet, Jacob is going to have to ALWAYS set a fast pace in hope of taking the edge of that finishing kick. It is weird how when great runner emerges and we all go "WOW!" and then - now and again - hot on their heels, comes another one. Roll on the summer!

[@wskingsley1]

If these two 'team up' at the trials 1500 to make it an honest race to prevent the sit and kick tactical race, I don't think it's unrealistic for them to both run 3:31 - 3:32 and go 1-2 and be headed for Tokyo soon... If it is a tactical race Engels vs Hocker in a sprint over the last 200 will be entertaining.

[@fireflash5366]

Came to watch this treasure after watching the 2022 Millrose 3k, which they did just under 3:40. They're getting better every year.

[@HouseofJello]

Fantastic race, thrilled that these are up on youtube, but I have to say, the commentating is way below par.

[@branching123]

I'm very satisfied he got the double. 1 HOUR after running sub 4 indoor? And able to win a 3k with how that schedule was? That's great speed endurance. It's clear he has faster foot speed than his teammate, that's why he made the move as late as he did.

[@Kurgosh1]

That's absurd. Just chillin' for 14 laps and then drop everybody by 2 full seconds in the last 200m.

[@timmytheinventor4746]

That's how a lot of people run.

[@kosukemedia]

Take in, Cole Hocker used to run just 35 miles in high school for all you mileage folks out there

[@noahchen6558]

Damn it’s a good thing we’re all Cole Hocker.

[@zugzug733]

It’s a balance. Not too much to burn you out, but enough to make you strong. Either way, he DEFINITELY runs more than that now, and you also don’t see him running the in the 5 or 10 this meet. That DOES require serious mileage, which 35 will not cut.

[@boopuspoopus4205]

[@alfredsanford5765]

[@michaelsundell2422]

Hocker's form is very reminiscent of Seb Coe's somehow. Very little upper-body movement, seems to be running too low to the ground to get great turnover, and yet the feet come way back on the backstride and there is just zero energy loss. And evidently has a final 200 similar to Coe's.

[@benanastasoff8980]

There is always energy lost, but I see what you mean. He has a very interesting form, but very dominant nonetheless.

[@justinmayes5455]

Yeah it’s cool to get two championships but I’d let my friend take one since I already got one. Might just be me tho

[@thewayihandleit]

I feel like this was kind of the plan to begin with given cooper sat out of the mile race. But cole had other ideas 😅

[@mikewazowski3201]

Finally I was looking for this comment, I completely agree. Especially with the race in hand going 1, 2.

[@blastedpotato]

Do you think there’s a chance cooper gave cole the dub?

[@NorthCharlton]

So some NCAA, or other, asswipe arranges to locate a floating linking window over the results table so as to obscure the names of the runners during the final seconds of the video. If one places a cursor at 8:50 of the video play line, one can see that the full results table is there in miniature view; but, someone has obviously decided to obscure it full screen out of laziness or possibly even pique. It could have been placed over the NCAA balloon logo instead of course ... or delayed a couple of seconds ... but, no ...

[@NCAAChampionships]

Thanks for pointing that out. We moved the end screen from the left side to the right so that you can see the full race results.

[@NorthCharlton]

@@NCAAChampionships Well ... that certainly is an admirable response to a highly intemperate complaint. Thank you for making the improvement, and I regret the vulgarity of my expression.
