Description
Indianapolis native and Olympic gold medalist Cole Hocker was is back in town Monday, Sept. 30, celebrating the first-ever "Cole Hocker Day."
The City-County Council and Mayor Joe Hogsett greeted Hocker with a ceremony at Richard G. Lugar Plaza.
13News caught up with the Olympian afterward.
"You know, I've got a vacation planned here in a couple of days, relax and get my mental back where it needs to be," Hocker said. "Then, you know, indoor track will start soon enough, and we've got world championships this next year, so there's not too much break time for professional track athletes, but I'm doing my best to enjoy and relish in it."
Hocker, a Cathedral High School graduate, said it was a surreal experience to have a day named after him in his hometown.
