The announcers didn't even realize what they were watching lol. A 15 year old freshman walked down a national champion senior to run 1:47! That is INSANE I hope Cooper Lutkenhaus stays healthy and motivated because he is an otherworldly talent. Can't wait to see how he develops
It will be the last time announcers are so unaware and unexcited. This kid is as exciting to distance as Quincy Wilson is to the sprints, although Quincy also ran a 1:50 split haha
Right! He also runs like he has zero lactic acid haha. It’s such a shame the commentators had no clue what they just witnessed, and they were talking about Donovan Brazier more than they were talking about him haha.
Cooper Lutkenhaus is a generational talent. Everything I’ve seen of him have been crazy, and for only being a freshman and reaching this height at that young is wild.
Yeah, I am just speechless. I saw videos of him running a couple 1:49s but I never expected this. He may break the HS record of 1:46:45 by this summer!
But the Elephant in the room is...too much too soon?? If not, and I hope not, this dude is not human!! I've seen a couple of his races and he doesn't look like he's cooking then...Boom!!
@@DillPickle99 Yeah, I thought about that, but in his case, I think he's just uber talented. He ran 48 seconds for 400m in eighth grade, and it's hard to imagine him not getting faster and stronger as he continues to mature. I think the only thing that could hinder him is injuries.
@@Newnewrom Wow. I’m kind of speechless. Amazing. As a former 800m runner I know attended feels like and it’s mind blowing he is doing this as a 15 year old freshman.
@@chsb1563calling it now, if he doesn't get injured, he can be a world record contender. That 400 speed can get him under the 1:40 barrier if it can keep developing along with his endurance
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!!!
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.
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
Wow. I had said previously that Lutkenhaus would break the HS 800m record of 1:46:45 by the time he's a junior. Now it looks like he may do it by this summer! I've never seen anything like this! Just phenomenal!
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."
This is one of the most phenomenal times I have ever seen-and Ive been following track for a long time. He is only 1.3 seconds off the all time HS 800 record by Michael Granville. Granville claims that Lutkenhaus will break that record easily-I understand he runs a 47.3 400 and a 22.2 200-both also phenomenal times but the 1:47 is out of this world good. It will be fun to watch and see if he can improve.
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.
I AM the FREEST of ALL Men---for I speak MY TRUTH no matter What anybody thinks--I AM the TRUE FREE MAN---My time was from RYUN to PRE-FONTAINE. My 1:56.8 in the half as a Junior Was over in Months when a Head on Car CRASH(like unto Steve) ENDED that run for Fame??
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
That’s insane for a freshman! The distance he closed over the last 100m was crazy. What is his mile time? Does he run distance or 400/800? He is among the fastest HS 800 runners as a true freshman????? If he stays healthy, kid can run sub 1:45
He’s a 400 runner. He runs it like a miler though. He’s had crazier closes than this. He is generational. I’ve talked to him before and told him he needs to get in the mile and he told me he hates it and to his account he is fast enough for it.
Giving me Will Sumner vibes. He has the body of a distance runner. Should be running XC even as a 400/800 specialist. A 47 second 400m for a freshman is evidence he has raw speed. Blows my mind that he approaching Granville’s 1:46.4 national record as a freshman
@@Maxliftsalot You made an aburd claim stating that a kid will go on to be the best ever. Let him worry about that, stop putting these crazy expectations up for literal teenagers to feel like they have to live up to.
@@Maxliftsalot lol? I’m just saying that when people put insane expectations on young runners it can very easily mess with their passion as they inevitably fail to live up to some of those expectations. I ran 1:50.2 in HS pre super spikes, I’m happy to see high schoolers run faster than I did.. not everyone is miserable like you
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.
@@brianmcewen3082 In the next 3 years he should improve by a couple more seconds. He might be a Ben Pattison type of phenom or even more. If he stays healthy. Apparently he does low volume training and run 22 - 200m and 47 - 400m. With that kind of speed (Coe like) and time to build up a base, he could be very special.
@@runnerspace No, 1:44 is 52 per 400m. That would not be sprinting speed for them. Every speed is sprint-speed for someone slow enough. But the 800 is not a sprint.
