Fifteen-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus recently booked his spot in the 800m final at USATF Nationals. He took under 1:50 last season, two meets previously. His father coaches him at present. The father works as a coach at Nebraska-Kearney while coaching his son at meets in New York recently. Lutkenhaus remains cool in races despite the jump up ranks. Scouts now monitor his reliable times and steady focus as he targets advanced tracks.
