Fifteen-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus recently booked his position in the 800m final at USATF Nationals. He took under 1:50 the previous season, two meets earlier. His father coaches him at present. The father works as a coach at Nebraska-Kearney while coaching his son at meets in New York lately. Lutkenhaus holds calm in races in spite of the jump up ranks. Scouts today observe his steady times and steady focus as he pursues more competitive tracks.
