Cole Hocker: A Rising Star in Middle-Distance Running Born on June 6, 2001, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Cole Hocker has rapidly ascended the ranks of elite middle-distance runners, establishing himself as one of the premier athletes in his discipline. Hocker's journey from a promising high school athlete to an Olympic gold medalist is a testament to his talent, determination, and strategic racecraft. Early Life and Athletic Development Hocker's interest in running was evident from a young age. He attended Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, where he quickly made a name for himself as a standout runner. By the time he graduated in 2019, Hocker had earned multiple state titles and was considered one of the top middle-distance runners in the country. His performances in high school caught the attention of the University of Oregon, where he would continue his athletic and academic career. At Oregon, Hocker's success continued to soar. Under the guidance of the university's esteemed track and field program, he quickly adapted to the rigors of collegiate competition. In 2021, as a sophomore, Hocker won the NCAA titles in both the 1500 meters and the mile, becoming a key figure in Oregon's storied track legacy. His collegiate success set the stage for his professional career, as he decided to forgo his remaining years of eligibility and turn professional later that year, signing with Nike. Professional Career and Early Success Transitioning to the professional circuit, Hocker wasted no time in making his mark. In 2022, he competed at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships, where he won national titles in the 1500 meters and 3000 meters, setting a meet record in the 1500 meters. However, an injury later that year prevented him from qualifying for the World Championships, a setback that Hocker used as motivation to come back stronger. The following year, Hocker's resilience was on full display. He finished third at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, earning a spot at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. Although he finished seventh in the final, Hocker set a new personal best, signaling that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. The Road to Paris 2024 As the 2024 season approached, all eyes were on Hocker as he prepared for his second Olympic Games. His journey to Paris was marked by a series of impressive performances, including a national title in the 1500 meters at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships and a silver medal at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow. At the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, Hocker delivered a masterclass performance, winning the 1500 meters in a meet record time of 3:30.59. This victory secured his spot on the U.S. Olympic team and set the stage for what would become the defining moment of his career. Olympic Triumph in Paris The men's 1500-meter final at the 2024 Paris Olympics was billed as a "race for the ages," with fierce competition from Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Scotland's Josh Kerr, and fellow American Yared Nuguse. Hocker, who entered the race with the sixth-best personal record among the finalists, was seen as an underdog. However, he proved that rankings and predictions mean little once the starting gun goes off. In a race that saw Ingebrigtsen set a blistering pace, Hocker displayed his trademark patience and tactical acumen. As the runners approached the final 100 meters, Hocker found an opening on the inside lane, surging past Ingebrigtsen and Kerr to claim victory in a time of 3:27.65. This performance not only earned him the gold medal but also set a new Olympic record, surpassing the previous record set by Ingebrigtsen in Tokyo in 2021. Hocker's triumph was celebrated as one of the most significant upsets of the Paris Olympics. His gold medal marked the first time an American had won the men's 1500 meters at the Olympics since Matthew Centrowitz Jr. in 2016. Hocker's time placed him as the seventh-fastest 1500-meter runner in history, solidifying his status as one of the elite middle-distance runners of his generation. Legacy and Future Prospects At just 23 years old, Cole Hocker's career is only beginning. His Olympic victory has propelled him into the global spotlight, and his potential for future success is immense. Hocker's ability to perform on the world's biggest stage, combined with his dedication to the sport, suggests that he will continue to be a dominant force in middle-distance running for years to come. Off the track, Hocker remains grounded, often attributing his success to his faith and the support of his family and coaches. As he looks ahead to future competitions, including the World Championships and potentially more Olympic Games, Hocker's focus remains on improving his craft and representing his country with pride. In the ever-competitive world of athletics, Cole Hocker's story is one of perseverance, skill, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. His journey from an aspiring high school runner to an Olympic champion serves as an inspiration to athletes everywhere, and his legacy is sure to endure as he continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in middle-distance running.

Christian Outdoors Podcast is owned and operated by Christian Outdoor Adventures, Inc. a 501c3 non-profit operating in Taylors, SC.
In 2019, after a lot of prayer and research, founder and host, Pete Rogers launched Christian Outdoors Podcast with one drive and mission. “To talk about all things outdoors and how to enjoy God every day.”
Through his 25 years as an outdoor writer, author, and speaker. Pete learned that any of the folks in the outdoor arena were Christians without a platform to express their faith. Cable television shied away from overt or subtle mentions of Christianity. Publications were clear, that no mention of God, much less Jesus was not allowed. This left a void for many who live for Christ but who also need to make a living with their product(s).
On October 1, 2019, the first episode was released with the commitment to release one episode a week for one full year and then re-evaluate. After that first year, the momentum was slow, but Pete felt that he needed to keep going.
The model is simple; Pete interviews stakeholders in the outdoor community and they discuss their passion for the outdoors, and we follow that with a discussion about their individual faith journey. On a regular basis, Pete will bring in two pastors who share his passion, tackle tough theological issues, and share their insight into what the Bible says about that particular subject.
Pete has a deep passion for the outdoors, spending more than 200 days a year in the outdoors, hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing wherever he can. But his passion for sharing the good news of Jesus is what drives him to continue to grow the podcast and reach as many people as he can through this medium.
We are just getting started, and with God’s blessing, and the support of key partners, this ministry will continue to grow and reach folks with the good news of Jesus. -
