Cole MF Hocker. 52.23 last lap. 3:35.35 FTW over Nuguse!!!

look at your thread title wrote:

Rojo, you have posted that it is inappropriate for posters to post "Mo Fu." Why do you do it?

I agree. Vulgar imagery should have no place on LRC. Its childish.

Great finish by Hocker.

So tired of the use of the term MF in threads. Anyone who uses it demonstrates their inability to use the English language properly without profanity. This is a clear demarcation of the complete decline of Western Civilization...especially that of the U.S. I hate American culture.

That escalated quickly...

I’m admittedly a Nuguse fan, but I can’t argue if it’s a clean finish. Hocker cutting in on Nuguse for 70 meters seemed like a weak move to me. And with them finishing within 3 tenths of each other, who knows what a difference that might have made. Great race by both in any case!

A lot more egregious than the kid from New Jersey that was DQed.

+1

He’s not there yet to medal but after watching his 1500m win tonight I am confident he will make the Olympic team.

Form can definitely make a difference at this level.

Ahhh this feels good after the constant threads of bandwagoners claiming Hocker had no chance against Nuguse.

+100

I'm smiling tonight

He shouldn't have run the 5k with the Olympic trials right around the corner. Even if they went 1-2, it wouldn't have made a difference in the team scoring.

When hocker runs it actually looks like the shoes are running and he’s trying to stop them like in that Simpsons episode where Lisa gets self tapping shoes. It looks goofy.

That's how good Hocker is. He alters reality he's so fast. What you're actually seeing is not real time.

I’m not talking about when he kicks, im talking about the other 1400 meters.

Not everyone can look as good as you Malmo when they are kicking.

To all the people saying hocker shouldn’t run the 5k, maybe Ben Thomas knows what he’s doing because he just had two individual champions?

I do think if hocker was leading Nuguse would have beaten him. In the same manner.

Trials will be interesting since I highly doubt either will be letting heading into the final 409 or 200

I think Hocker can win a gold medal. That was the most insane close I’ve ever seen.

Does Hocker have a gold medal kick? Yes. But running the last 100m in 12 seconds alone won't even put you on the US team if he can't position correctly. He spots too much room and banks on his kick, but he can't spot Centro and Engels that much room. Let alone Ingebrigsten and Cheruiyot who are just downright faster.

Look at how much room he spotted Teare in the NCAA 3k indoors and the 1500m at the Oregon Relays. He got the win in the 3k, but he's about to face more than Teare in a little over a week. Nuguse/Teare beat him in that 1500m. I want to see him neck and neck with 300m to go. Does that diminish his kick, maybe, but he can't spot these world class guys he's about to face so much room.

He has to have the worst running form of any NCAA champ. My goodness, those arms look like he’s milking a cow!!

It’s ok Tim C will make Hockers form look good at the Olympic final

I'm not sure what I have to do with this?

Hobbs still faster than anyone in the NCAA final......
