On Going Pro! 

Cooper Lutkenhaus had a pretty extraordinary year in 2025. First, he breaks the American Junior record for the Men’s 800 meters, then he breaks the World Under 18 record and American Under 20 record!

When RunBlogRun spoke with Cooper on Monday, October 27, Cooper had just completed his first day of two-a-day workouts! He was tired.

This is a clip from the long interview focused on Cooper going Pro, and signing a contract with NIKE!
