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