Compare it to his Texas state meet. There, the announcers were fired up. The female one’s voice jumps an octave when he starts his kick. 😆

I wanted to call out Cooper's great tactics in that the first 200 he made sure he was not boxed in on the rail. He then followed the leaders thru windy conditions and set up his kick on the backstretch by again getting great position heading into the last 200. Great execution and effort!!!

@thepixalking6589

I was watching the same thing. Didn't go out to fast. Most importantly, positioned himself on the line between lane 1 and 2 so he had maneuverability, yet was running to many extra meters. He learned from previous races. He's racing smarter now.

OMG. So clueless. Then justifying his win by his tactics rather than saying "we are witnessing something unprecedented". And maybe, "This kid has loads of talent."

My biggest flex is being able to say that I went to the same hs as Cooper Lutkenhaus. I remember him training with our xc team when he was in 8th grade and he was absolutely cooking everyone

I saw this race in person, absolutely amazing!!!

Cooper is a special talent. He had a fantastic tactical sense. He understands exactly when he needs to position himself to be able to unleash that monster finish. He was .03 off the meet record which is held by the AR holder, but he ran it when he was a senior. Believe it or not, he is .08 off the world age 15 record which is held by a Brit who has run 1:43. If he stays patient and healthy he will be a real contender for the national team in a few years.

Michael Granville is paying attention!

Very windy--that was fun hitting that there wall of wind wherever that might be----- I have always considered the 800/1/2 mile was the Greatest SPRINT--not the Mile

No, a 1:48 800m is 27secs per 200m. That may be sprinting for you, but these guys could run 22.X in the 200m. Also, the 800m record of 1:46.45 is from 1996. Kersh ran 1:46 in the '80s, and West ran 1:47 in the '70s. So, the 800m has been this fast for 50 years.
