A 16-year-old just shook up American track history: Cooper Lutkenhaus, a high school sophomore from Texas, clocked an unbelievable 1:42.27 in the 800m at the US Championships—smashing world age records and finishing just behind comeback king Donavan Brazier. Brazier, after years of injury setbacks and three Achilles surgeries, claimed his first US title in six years with a personal best. The race was so fast, even seasoned pros missed the World team despite running career-best times. Are we witnessing the rise of a new middle-distance legend? Let’s talk about what this means for the future of US track. #Sports #TrackAndField #CooperLutkenhaus
