Ollie Hoare added another important piece of hardware to his growing collection.
The University of Wisconsin sophomore won his fourth conference crown of the 2017-18 school year, the latest a title in the 1,500-meter run at the Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championship on Sunday in Bloomington, Indiana.
The Sydney, Australia native pulled away from Michigan State’s Justine Kiprotich in the final 100 meters and crossed the line in 3 minutes, 49.97 seconds.
“I’m in a great place right now and I want to progress and see what I can do at the NCAA regionals in Sacramento,” Hoare said of the national preliminaries May 24-26 in California.
