Big race Saturday in Lewisburg, Pa., for Ocean City’s Matt Hoffman, a St. Joe’s sophomore.
Hoffman ran 3:51.44 in the 1,500 at the Bison Outdoor Classic at Bucknell, dropping his PR from 3:54.06 last April in Fairfax, Va.
Hoffman’s time is the equivalent of a 4:09.96 full mile, which would be a big PR over his PR of 4:13.47 from West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field in June 2024. His collegiate mile PR is 4:15.72 from Virginia Beach indoors in February.
Hoffman closed in 61.13 and 2:03.98 for his final 800. His time is 16th-fastest currently in the Atlantic 10.
At Ocean City, Hoffman ran 1:56.16 for 800 meters, 3:55.61 for 1,500 and 4:13.47 full mile.
Hoffman PR’d for 800 meters with a 1:53.27 last weekend in Princeton.
