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