The 1500-meter winner at the U.S. Trials has a goal to reach the final in Tokyo.
“It wasn't surprising to me, but it was impressive,” Ben Thomas, the associate head coach of distance at the University of Oregon, toldAs is routine at Oregon, before the race, Thomas handed Hocker and Teare a sheet of paper with instructions. It detailed the splits to run—how fast they should go through various points of the race. The instructed pace would yield 3:49.
This year, Hocker raced 23 times. Centrowitz, a pro for Nike’s Bowerman Track Club, only raced 11 times. July began quietly for Hocker. He found himself alone in Eugene. His training relaxed. He even had to skip a few days of running because of food poisoning. During the slow days, Hocker took up arts and crafts; he’s been constructing a mosaic for the past few weeks.But then things became noisy. A widely-sharedrevealed that Hocker hadn’t received his COVID-19 vaccine, and many people online publicized their outrage.
Like Hocker, Centrowitz was also a national champion when he competed for Oregon. Hocker said that people on the internet have manufactured a. In reality, it’s all love between the two ducks—merely friendly competition. “I want to beat him along with everybody else in that entire field,” Hocker said. “As soon as the gun goes off, it’s almost like I hate everybody.”Hocker knows he can go faster than his current PR of 3:35.28, which he ran at the Trials. He covered the final 800 meters of his NCAA victory in 1:49, and he closed the Trials in 1:50. That kind of aggressive negative split suggests that Hocker can lower his time if he needs to.
