Fifteen-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus just booked his position in the 800m final at USATF Nationals. He dashed under 1:50 last season, two meets earlier. His father coaches him currently. The father works as a coach at Nebraska-Kearney as coaching his son at meets in New York recently. Lutkenhaus stays cool in races even with the jump up ranks. Scouts currently watch his consistent times and steady focus as he chases more competitive tracks.
