More than a second faster than Braziers former 19 year old record.
Oh and a second faster than the NCAA record as well.
What?
Cooper Lutkenhaus just broke the 16, 17, 18 and 19 year old worlds best!

The OP is not correct, as Nijel Amos ran 1:41.73 as an 18 year old in the London 2012 Olympics. Yes, there are sometimes questions about the true ages of African athletes, but that was his listed age and that is the 18 year old record.

Not correct, but I hope we get Wanyonyi vs Luthkenhaus in 2028. Unfortunately Wanyonyi seems inclined to move up after hunting the WR next year.

One must be either 17, 18, or 19 to break those records, so they still stand. Cooper broke only the record for 16 yr olds.

Botswana don't have the same record keeping problems as Kenya and Ethiopia. Not all African countries are the same you f***ing racist.

Brother I hate to be the one to break this to you but he got popped for doping so he doesn't count https://www.athleticsintegrity.org/downloads/pdfs/other/Press-Release-AIU-BANS-NIJEL-AMOS-FOR-THREE-YEARS.pdf

True, just like he didn’t break the collegiate record because he’s not on college yet, but, still…
Dude is going to go pro right now… any other decision would be dumb. Nike should sign him to a 10-year deal.

Amos’s agent admitted he was 22 in that London race. Look it up. He was an age cheat and a drug cheat.

That’s not “world best”. It’s select countries best.

Age group and world's best are not the same thing. A lot of countries, including African countries, don't do age group.

Anyone has the actual list of the world record for each age 16-19 years old? Coopers time must have been extremely close to the U20WR as well?

Where is the outrage? Just sayin...
African athletes who dominate suddenly, especially in explosive or middle-distance events, often face whispered or overt suspicions of doping without much evidence — sometimes fueled by stereotypes about natural athleticism vs. hard work.
White athletes who achieve similarly unprecedented leaps sometimes receive a different narrative — “once-in-a-generation talent,” “training innovation,” “hard work paying off” — rather than immediate calls for testing.
