Fifteen-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus recently booked his place in the 800m final at USATF Nationals. He took under 1:50 last season, two meets previously. His father trains him currently. The father leads at Nebraska-Kearney while coaching his son at meets in New York lately. Lutkenhaus remains calm in races in spite of the jump up ranks. Scouts currently monitor his steady times and quiet focus as he targets higher tracks.
