Josh Hoey (born November 1, 1999) is an American middle-distance runner who is the world record holder in the short track 800 meters, with a time of 1:42.50 set in 2026. He won a gold medal in the event at the 2025 World Indoor Championships. Hoey also holds the world best in the short track 600 meters and the American record in the short track 1000 meters, with times of 1:12.84 and 2:14.48 respectively. Hoey attended Bishop Shanahan High School in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. As a senior, he set the U.S. high school national record in the indoor 800 meters, with a time of 1:47.67 (since broken by Cooper Lutkenhaus in 2025). He competed at the 2018 IAAF World U20 Championships in Tampere, Finland, running 1:48.07 in the semifinals of the 800 meters. In 2018, originally intending to compete for the University of Oregon, Hoey turned pro after high school, signing with Adidas. He is one of three U.S. men's distance runners to turn pro immediately after high school, alongside Drew Hunter in 2016 and Hobbs Kessler in 2021. From 2018 to 2023, Hoey struggled to improve and cycled through five coaches, including Terrence Mahon (who had coached Hoey remotely since seventh grade), Matthew Centrowitz Sr., and Rana Reider, before finding success with Justin Rinaldi. At the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, Hoey finished fourth in the 800 meter final, with a personal best time of 1:44.12.
