If he would have gone out a little more aggressively and didn't get boxed in, he could have gone 1:47. Big things are coming for this young man.
I thought this comment was stupid until I watched the race
I think that initial inside move cost him about half a second. He might have neared 1:49, which is a notable mark for a freshman. We shall hopefully be seeing more of him in the next few years.
I loved how he kinda sat back and watched until the 650 mark and just turned into a bullet!
Maybe, maybe not. He has plenty of racing ahead of him to show what he has in his gas tank.
Watched this live. That kid’s gonna be a terror for years to come lol!
That's ridiculous! If he had been running with 1:45/46 guys he might have been under 1:47. Nice gait, neat carriage, no wasted motion, very linear, everything going in one direction - forward. I hope he gets good coaching! PATIENCE!
He did slow down a few times because he was boxed 📦 in..jus sayn
@@thomasgreen1914 Thomas, I agree. Race savvy comes from experience and maturity. I hope he doesn't follow in the footsteps of so many American M-D racers, relying on the "sit and kick" game - winning national titles and getting smoked internationally
I looked up US Olympic trials qualifying time. It’s 1:47.5.
He’s looking at it as a HS freshman!
nah that closing 200 was CRAZY
Exactly to run 600m and finish with a 25sec last 200m was next level
He made sub 2 pace look like jogging mid second lap. Just insane
He sure did. Back when I was running I remember it was a big deal when I ran 1:59 as a sophomore. I guess not so much. 😆
@@chsb1563Sub 2 as a sophomore is still cool. Did you progress from there in high school or college?
@@Thomas-fk3cw I ended up running 1:56 as a senior. I didn’t do the type of base training that most 800m runners do because I played basketball as well. However, I think what would have benefited me the most was some weight training to make my strides more powerful.
Absolutely insane for a HS freshman to run a 1:49 in the 800m. Holy #%^*
You know that everybody wears shoes with spring in them now?
@@writerjmd Buddy you realize it ain’t the shoes alone that’s causing these kids to run that fast. For all we know it’s genetics, better training, nutrition, technology (in terms of recovery), etc.
@@saedgriffey4738 For real, this guy thinks spikes with some cushion gonna make you run sub 1:50.
@@Sam-ob8xcfr… the best super spike will save fractions of a second compared to a middle of the line spike.
@@Sam-ob8xc makes a huge difference. those shoes let you train more with less chance of injury. shoes from the 60's weighed over twice as much and had no cushion at all. half the tracks in the 60's were driveway gravel. i never ran on a track like todays. our state champ won the 1/2 mile in 1minute52.5seconds on blacktop 55 years ago
25.6 final 200.... wow. ⚡⚡⚡
That’s world class time. Amazing
Negative split 1:49 is insane for any HS student. And a freshmen! Yikes.
His final 200 was about 24 seconds. That’s world class!
25.6
@@runuphill still world class.
@@gtrdoc911 Yep
Faster than rudishas closing 200 for his world record
That’s insane !!!! Maybe he can be the one to finally take down Granvilles national record that’s nearly 3 decades old
Cooper Lutkenhaus;
A name to Remember, in more ways than one.
What a talent.
That dude could have easily broke the national High School Record by far
and he will
HOLY CRAP!!! I have never seen anything like that in my entire life!! That was INSANE!!!!
What are they feeding these freshman man??! My season record as a freshman was 2:21 💀
I know right, mine was 2:24
I took 3rd place in the Freshman state meet in New Jersey in 1969, this kid would have made me look like I was running backwards 😂
My friend ran 2:14 in 8th grade
My pr is 2:08 as a 8th grader.
@@jayure1346some seventh grader in my school got 2:14 800m he also holds all distance school records😢
He shifted like three gears with 200m to go. The only other time I've ever seen a move this decisive at a high-level championship was Michael Stember at the California state meet.
Wow, at least you’ve seen it before. This is the most dominating I’ve seen. And he’s a freshman!
I was thinking about Granville but stember is a good comparison
Reminds me of Dave Wottle in the 1972 Olympic 800 meters finals
@@terryd624Wottle's was a little more smoothly building speed/kick, this kid was more of flipping a sudden switch. But, def get what you're saying. Love Wottle's 800.
@@Thomas-fk3cw Yeah your right, but I also love Dave Wottie's race as well. He came from last place and just keep building until he caught everyone at the end. This kid just shifted into high gear and off he went. No one could even stay close to him, I am gonna keep an eye on him the next few years and hope he can get the long standing national record.
I been known this dude since last years middle school nationals when he ran 1:53
Did he win?
Texas produces the greatest athletes and warriors on planet earth. Always have.
Lat 200 was almost a second faster than the last 200 in Rudisha's 800 world record. Kid's got some speed!!!
That’s a crazy time for any high schooler much less a freshman. Dude is on a different level.
A HS freshman running sub 1:50 is absolutely insane. I was lucky to run under 2 min as a high schooler.
I bet you won alot of races. In my time the 1980s 2:05 won most races
@@RealLifeFinance I ran in the early 90s. I didn't run the 800m often, I was mostly a 400m runner but I did rarely break 2 minutes but that was usually because I had much better runners in front of me pushing me. The central coast of California has a lot of very fast T&F athletes.
Nice humblebrag bruh
@@ajmieskolainen7170 Not really bragging. Sub 2 min 800m for a high school athlete is good but not great. I really didn't win a whole lot because I had some very stiff competition in the league and section I competed in. Which is why I didn't run the 800m very much.
I was a sub 50sec 400m runner and won a lot more in that event.
Totally crushed it!!!
That's 2 young gunners from Texas..Cooper and Elizabeth....Wow!
Excellent point!
This is my high school coach’s kid. I remember him running around the classroom and just knowing he was going to go crazy one day.
Man that was just crazy! I thought it was a misprint in the title at first! I sure hope he can stay healthy and that his coaches don't overtrain him…
Damn...the gear change was ridiculous.
One of the craziest finishing kicks I've ever seen in a middle distance race. Wow!
Granville Flashbacks 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely bonkers
The way the crowd gasped when he made his move is hilarious.
its crazy he is in my ENGLISH CLASS crazy good
Ask for an autograph on your yearbook before he gets famous
Cooper and those after jets!😮
I’ve watched a few vids of high school and college T&F in the past 12 months and it looks like the US has some very good present and future talent.
"Run Forrest, run!!!"
Awesome run 🏃 😮😮😮
I can’t think of anything to say but WOW!
Holy Crap! If this kid stays healthy, doesn't get burned out and keeps it together between the ears, the sky is the limit.
Way to go Coop!
Holy insane this kid is fast. I hope he can stay injury free and keep his head in the game. The worst part about being fast at this age is your progression is a lot less fulfilling if you're dropping .3 and .6 here. Regardless I hope to see this fella in the olympics soon.
A freshman under 1:50 and making it look easy! Wow.
Will Sumner ran a 1:46.53 high school best as a senior in 2022. As a freshman he ran a 2:06.87 best.
I was running 1:58 as a freshman this is insane
The difference in the running language at 3:27 dude behind him in red shirt is barely hanging on, dude out front is cooked from going out too quick, and the winner looks loose like he is running comfortable, and chomping at the bit to find room and take off
Lutkenhaus switched on the afterburner 💥
That’s insane.
I have to run with this kid in my district. Absolutely insane.
Ohhh dang!💪👏
He doesn't look like any freshman I've ever seen... the genetics of this kid! It looked like he was jogging for the first 400. His form sucks and he didn't push himself until he realized he was getting boxed, and out of frustration went around them. When this kid gets some world class coaching, he will go all the way. This must have been what Joaquim Cruz looked like at this age. A big lumbering genetic freak with bad form but unbeatable. Cruz didn't get good coaching until he was 18 or so, this kid will be molded starting his sophomore year I'm sure because he is now officially famous. Crazy things are going to happen the next couple years in High School track between this kid, Quincy Wilson. Sadie Engelhardt and Elizabeth Leachma. WHAT THE HELL ARE THE PUTTING IN WATER!!!
Wow!!
he haz arisen!!!!!!👁️ havv NEVER seen anything like this in hi-skool... soooooo many good hi-skoolerz male & female this year
When I was a college senior I couldn't have kept up with him.
Wow! And he's only a freshman. Could Michael Granville's reign come to an end in the next year or two?
Possibly the next great leap forward.
A 9th grader and 2 10th graders running 1:49 / 1:50 is insane. They all if put together may go 1:48.
Big colt, going fast.
Awesome late kick
Like they were standing still 😮
Might be equally as impressive as the 4x100 relay that was set earlier this year
The kid is talented like Steve Ovett in UK. Reminds of 1500m at 1977 World Cup, with Ovett
running last 200m in 25 seconds. See final 200m of Ovett timeline 3:07:
ua-cam.com/video/0W7GogWlv7Q/v-deo.html
Wow. 😊
Definitely reminds me of Alberto with that long stride that makes it look like he's jogging and that knee lift. He can run 47-48 as a freshman in the quarter, that's fast. His racing tactics are currently bad so he can probably run 1:48 as a freshman. How tall is he?
Like a good 6’2-3
Wow. He is going to be a real talent.
Great talent. Gotta get smarter and learn to not try to pass on the inside. Gonna cause a crash doing that.
hard to believe...
What state? This is crazy first week of may? Wisconsin isn’t until June .
He can also be a great 1500M racer!
Nah. He’s a 400/800 runner.
I'd try him at 400m first, especially with that last 250m he ran in this race. I'm betting somewhere in the 48s with no experience. Maybe throw him in a 1500m with some 3:50 guys and see if he can keep pace with the leaders.
Would be interesting to see him run a sub 4:00 mile as a freshman. If he can, then I would say, finish your freshman year and join a professional running team like Hobbs Kessler.
@@danieltikusis5239Looks like he only runs the 400 and 800. Has a 48x in the 400. He'd have to do a lot of endurance work to crack 4 min in the mile, but I'm wicked curious what kind of mark he could put up now.
“Sheesh” was my verbal reaction at the 200 mark.
And I thought his older brother was amazing last year...
The pace was pedestrian. I wonder what would have happened if they had gone out in 50 point or faster????
The only time I seen this much speed is watching Dash from the Incredibles during his track race. This person needs to be checked out in a lab, this is superhuman ability for a 14 year old.
He’s 16
@@oDrqgon oh wow okay I stand corrected, that is pretty old for a freshman right?
yeah most sophomores and early juniors are that age
buddy got held back and now he's the "best freshman in the nation" when he should really be competing against sophomores and juniors
Just for the record, he's 15. There's a few articles online that incorrectly identify him as 16, but his DOB is December 19, 2008. He's a normal age for his grade.
They were standing on that track for ages waiting to start
This young man has incredible potential. I'd never heard of him before I clicked on this video but I hope he keeps his head on straight, incredible to watch.
You will see him again
Dude turned on the turbo?
No doubt.
Fun fact: David Rudisha ran 1:51.2 as a 16yr old… this kid just ran 1:49.84 as a 15 yr old. 🧐
That wasn't another gear... he hit that nitrous!
yea good luck. look up alan webb and others in the "phenom runners who didn't" book
Negative split a 1:50 damn
Pretty amazing...is he a 400m guy moving up or a 1500m guy moving down? With that easy stride, if he isn't a 1500 phenom too, he will be.
That kiddo ran an incredible 800.
Amazing. I’d be curious to see what this kid could do in the 1500.
He runs like 4:15
He looked like he was held back and was just sick of it. "Bye-Bye."
When Im in my Toyota Tundra cruising on 6 then shift down to 3 or 4!
Where was this race?
University of Texas
He pressed fast forward w 200 to go wow
Where did that come from? Was he just resting for the first 600m?
Weren't you watching... he was signing autographs on his way to 600m.
Apparently!
Wow
That was insane. He destroyed the field. If he hadn't been boxed in by the three out front, he would probably shaved another half second off his time.
This kid is faster than Quincy Wilson wow
Secretariat in the Preakness and Belmont.
Uh, yeah, that's a pretty good ninth grader.
id still be on lap 1
Amazing, considering that he was locked up for 600 meters.
How old is this kid? Negative split was insane. What is his PR for the 400? If he is a true HS freshman, big future for him
14? 15?
bro our team ran against him thinking we got beat by some sophmore but nah he a freshman
I am pretty sure he negative split that. That is crazy.
Wow. Second gear to the 600 mark, then see ya!
I know that guy
If you are watching the race, what other way would you be seeing it than "real time"?
Is he wearing flats?? Or are those a new type of spikes?? I can’t tell. If he’s wearing flats just wow..
And absolutely he could have gone 1:48. Maybe even 1:47 high.
He had slowed down a few times too.
Jesus!...I mean JESUS!!!!!! Watch out David Rudisha! I bet by end of 10th grade he's running 1:44!!!!!
He can run 1:47 with a faster first lap
This kid has the genetics. Imagine when they can bioengineer humans and this is a slow time.
