Cooper Lutkenhaus in the 800m

The dude is 16 years old and just barely finished second at the US championships behind a former world champion. He broke the under 18 world record and is the second fastest under 20 year old ever. That is some rare talent.

Looked to me like if he had stayed closer to the front, he had the kick at the end to win it.

That was one helluva a great race. Amazing kick from the kid too.

Holy hell, where did he come from

Another 10 meters and he might have won the whole thing.

Yep. Or if he had turned it on just a bit sooner. Amazing run.

Jeez, he was coming.

Kid is from Justin a little north of Fort Worth. He’s truly a generational talent.

That's insane. His last 110 was incredible.
Posted on 8/3/25 at 9:04 pm to Diseasefreeforall
He was so far back coming into the last turn. Pretty incredible finishing burst.
Posted on 8/3/25 at 10:29 pm to Diseasefreeforall
Just ridiculous. The US high school 800 record is now faster than the college record. He ran his 2nd lap in 43.88- which would have won the 400.

His splits were 50.66 and 51.61.

Kid could compete with the cars at TMS. His HS is right next to it.

Along with Quincy Wilson he is a big part of the future of American mens track.

The 800m and 400m hurdles do not get enough respect. Those two events are brutal competitions.

As well as the 3000m steeplechase.

Probably wasn't his race strategy, though. And as young as he is, probably best to just stick to the strategy and not change on the fly when the gun went off. Hell of a run.
