Men's 1500m - 2021 NCAA outdoor track and field championship

Oregon track freshman Cole Hocker edged out Yared Nuguse in the final stretch to take this exciting 1500m race at the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship, which is being held in Eugene, Oregon. Hocker ran the 1500m race in 3:35.35, his personal best.

He has a little bit of potential. Maybe he can win olympic gold one day.

Runs a 52 second last lap after almost falling over. Madness

nice recommendation YouTube. love to see everyone in the comments believing and seeing the talent in Hocker back then

[roserunner]

I was very impressed with Hocker’s race.This was his first REAL championship style race and he ran it like an experienced veteran. That was centro like execution. Just cool, calm and collected.

If Cole is on your tail with 400 to go you're doomed. What a great freshman year.

[mikewalker]

They tried to box him in and that just pissed him off.

4:22. Look at what Hocker does here. With the race on the line, he has to correctly read the situation and choose the correct tactic. He can hold the inside line but if he does that, he might get boxed if the second place runner can hold. Or he can swing wide but that will cost him a 1-2 meters. He correctly assesses that Nuguse is going to move away at the front and make the space that he needs. Very good tactics from a young runner!

I am looking these up because I saw him win the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. It so fun watching him run. Thank you Cole Hocker.
