Olympic gold medalist Cole Hocker leads a 57-athlete U.S. roster for next week’s World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Poland.
Worlds air live from March 20-22 on Peacock.
Hocker, the Olympic 1500m champion and world outdoor 5000m champion, made the team by winning the 3000m at the USA Track and Field Indoor Championships two weeks ago.
Hocker is already one of two Americans to win global titles at 1500m and 5000m along with Bernard Lagat. At world indoors, he can join Lagat as the only Americans to win global titles at 1500m, 3000m and 5000m.
The U.S. team for world indoors also includes world heptathlon champion Anna Hall, who will try to become the second American to win a world title in the five-event pentathlon after Le Shundra Nathan in 1999.
Chase Jackson, a two-time world outdoor champion in the shot put, goes for her first indoor title after taking silver or bronze at the last three editions.
The men’s roster also includes Olympic 1500m Yared Nuguse joining Hocker in the 3000m after taking runner-up to Hocker at indoor nationals.
Cooper Lutkenhaus, who last year at age 16 became the youngest American to compete at an outdoor worlds, will again compete in the 800m at indoor worlds after taking the national title in the event.
In the sprints, the U.S. is led by Jacious Sears and Jordan Anthony, each coming off their first national titles.
