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 guides him now. The father coaches at Nebraska-Kearney while coaching his son at meets in New York these past weeks. Lutkenhaus remains cool in races despite the jump up ranks. Scouts today monitor his steady times and laser focus as he pursues advanced tracks.
