I know these are from the official results so I guess the on-screen clock was off because I think it's pretty clear to see from the broadcast splits of
26.2, 26.3 (52.5) 26.7, (1.19.2) 26.2 (1.45.4). Even down to 1.32.4 at 700m so he closes in 13.0
Looks a lot like the splits from this guy named Dave Wottle, from back in my day -
26.4
27.1
26.2
26.2

he looks taller than hoey in pictures at millrose. And hoey is 6 foot 3. So cooper is probably taller.

800 times hadn't improved AT ALL, until last year. which seems to be a bi-carb result, and not super shoes related.

This kid is a freakin stud. time for Americans to get excited the way Brits have been about Burgin for the past several years. Hopefully our guy has better luck with his health.

Isn't it a little odd that a substance that has been around for decades, that isn't considered a ped by WADA, is now suddenly responsible for off the charts improvements for runners across the board?

His time of 1:45.45 would have won this year's D1 NCAA men's 800 --- so yeah, something definitely doesn't add up.

It's the new norm. Teen prodigies are everywhere now.

Something is vey fishy. Chalk it up to the super-spikes, but also PEDs like Maurten gels.

Say what? This is in a HS meet last month. He's pretty much the average height in that group. He's 6' at best.13 -

A 16 year old kid faster than Roger Moans?
What would he have ran if it had been sunny? 1:44? Do me a favor.
The shoes haven't changed, but we know what has changed.
Imagine using Roger moens as your gold standard

Cooper is exactly 6’1” tall unless he’s grown 2” since Saturday.

Lutkenhaus ran something like 1:52 and 48.x in 8th grade. He was already on this trajectory before last year. Generational talent.

it's because he's in the foreground smart guy. But 6'0 is still pretty tall. Just kinda average in the 400/800 community.

Rubbish. The product would have long ago been withdrawn if it had had that effect. I've been around for decades and there's never been issues about bicarb. But it isn't baking soda that's cooking athletes' times today.
