Eighth grader Cooper Lutkenhaus from Gene Pike, TX set the middle school national record in the boys 800-meter at the Brooks PR Invitational, running 1:54.20 at Renton Memorial Stadium in Renton.
I have put a link to his final 200m in the first post of this thread. Also I have deleted a ton of posts where people claimed he's old for his grade. That's not true. HIs DOB is December 19, 2008. He's 15 like most US HS freshmen. I also added the stuff in () to the title. And we've merged a 2nd thread into this one.

Result sites have him as 16. It seems that athletic.net and runnerspace have added a year to his age every January. Is it true they do that to every athlete as someone claimed -- seems doubtful? Someone like you (they might know) needs to contact them to get that fixed. Otherwise the kid is going to have questions raised, and doesn't deserve it.

Athletic.net has my age as 20 even though my 20th birthday isn’t until late August. The age given is the age you’ll be at the end of the year.

Provide a link to that, or it is just BS. That your profile has that error means you failed to get it fixed. Your claim is that Athletics.net can not be used for age record purpose because the ages are false for much of the year. Someone born on December 31st is claimed as being 16 on Jan 1st, and another person born on Jan 1st, the next day, is 15 for the entire year. That is why YOU need to provide a link to that "policy."

The trolls are out in force. No link. "same for everyone"'s comment is BS trolling.
Incredible performance. And only 15. Let's see what his PR is at 18, at 21, at 24 etc... Hopefully he is nowhere near his peak now. The future is bright...
freakish talent. what's the trials standard? he should drop out of school and be home schooled while he's training. hopefully he can be eligible for an nil deal while being hs'd.
