Amazing time for Cooper Teare and amazing times for basically everyone. I’m so glad both the 5k and 10k weren’t tactical and the distance men really went for it. Kiptoo was strange this meet he basically acted as a pacemaker for the meet.

[@moiseomri]

Kiptoo....what is up with that? Where are his coaches? Maybe he got some promotional monies. Very strange. Does not make any sense.

[@EnvyTraxus]

that's his style, he tries to get a big lead right off the bat then just hang on

[@michaelsanderson9562]

@@moiseomri have you watched the indoor 5K from this year? It’s just how he runs, sometimes it pays off like it did there, and sometimes it doesn’t like here

[@matthiasngo2190]

Well kiptoo’s normal strategy is to go out fast and lead. So what the flotrack podcast was saying was he kept the same strategy he did go out hard but maybe he was sick because he couldn’t keep the pace for as long as he normally could

If Cole Hocker hadn't been running the 1500m races (semi and final), that could have been an Oregon 1-2 finish.

Track races are so exciting. The drama and the strategy that unfolds. You don’t know until the last turn who has what left in the tank. The race changes so much. Cole Hocker was in the back of the pack (eating dust) until the last 150 meters. He blew by about 6 guys. Exciting. Love 400 through 5000 distances.

[@hham9305]

So happy for Cooper. Great races from everyone else as well.

[@timmytheinventor4746]

Kiptoo went through that first mile in 13:10 pace. I'm honsestly glad he did that, even though it would have been nice to see him in contention near the end of the race. Collegians usually never run to their full potential in championships because it's all so slow and tactical and no one wants to take the lead.

[@philomenaakpanaadie2015]

Oregon's distance and middle distance coaches need to tell us how their athletes have such killer kicks...But dang. I could feel the tension between Teare, Kioko and Grijalva, and that just felt so real. It makes you realize that these people aren't just running superstars, but they're also people with basically normal lives. Gives me so much motivation.

[@yungthunder2681]

Little miffed they didn't even show Hocker running everyone down in the last lap

[@antoniooso694]

SAME! It’s not quite as impressive as winning of course but pretty damn impressive considering his double. Plus I just love watching his kick!

[@jefffawcett]

Basically stopping all coverage of the race as soon as the winner crosses the finish line was asinine. We don’t want to see a goddamn zoomed in picture of the winners face while they are still 20 athletes finishing. Just awful video work

[@kevinkasp]

The dude must have the highest pain threshold since Steve Prefontaine. I don't know how he did that and got a 13:18 just 100 minutes after running a 3:35 1500m which included 1:48 for the last 800. His lactic acid level must have been incredible. He was in 10th place and 25 meters back of the pack with just 150 meters to go.

[@trevorturner8037]

@@antoniooso694 love Hocker but I am happier for cooper. Hocker has been crushing it all season of track indoor and outdoor and cooper has been so close to winning many times but would get out kicked by cole or someone else at the finish. He finally got it when it mattered the most

[@M1nistersBlackVeil]

@@kevinkasp he would have gotten like second if he didn’t run the 15 but let’s be honest his race is the 15 it’s not the 5k that’s coopers race cole is a lot faster in terms of pure speed I would also really like to see him race in the 800 and train for the 8 and 15 I feel like he could go sub 1:43 if he trained

[@troy5731]
