Cole Hocker vs Grant Fisher in 3000M for World Record/Yared Nuguse vs Hobbs Kessler for World Record in mile

Cole Hocker who won the gold in the 1500M in Paris vs Grant Fisher, a distance runner who won the bronze in the 5000M and 10000M in Paris.

Awesome race. I saw Fisher run an indoor 1500M the other day, but obviously he's a distance runner, working on his finishing. And we know from the olympics how good Cole Hocker is at finishing...and he's used to the shorter races.

If you want to get to the last 3 laps go to 7 minute mark.

Yared Nuguse also has a battle here with Hobbs Kessler in the mile. Nuguse was the silver medalist in the olympics in the 1500 behind Cole Hocker.....he goes down the stretch against Hobbs Kessler, another p and coming racer. They both broke the previous world record here like the two above did.

U.S. distance running is absolutely on fire.

Yes, Track and Field in general is becoming a great sport to watch. So many good sprinters, hurdlers, and distance runners in the US. A lot of world records and U18 records being set.
