Granted it was from a running start, but I'd imagine if he hadn't done a workout prior to it, he could drop a 21 low, which would indicate 45 low 400 speed.
I'd imagine he's in mid 1:42 shape right now, though that's extrapolating a lot from a single rep.

For reference, his frosh 200m time was 22.12 (also in March) and he ran 47.60/1:47.58 that year!
last year he ran 46.30/1:42.27, so I imagine he was at 21.8ish range or faster
if this is 21.4 potential or faster, I def agree he can drop 45mid or faster and this bodes well for a tactical gear shift style 800 like his US indoors race plan

Cooper was at bare minimum 45.5 shape when he ran 1:42, his 46.3 came in a 800/400 double when he was still in 1:44 shape or so. I'd imagine he was also 21 mid shape when he ran the 1:42.

Everything from his times so far to his overall frame indicate he's a legit 400/800 type. I genuinely think he could be a threat to the 500/600/800m all-time lists if he has any interest like Hoey's shown lately. I also believe sub-45 is probably in the cards soon if he keeps the speed work up. Very few 800m runners historically have documented sub-45 speed.

Very few 800m runners historically have documented sub-45 speed. I think he's more of a pure 800 runner (with his optimal distance maybe being 700 or so). Guys like Emmanuel Korir and Alberto Juantorena both ran 44 low with equal if not worse 800 PRs. The difference between low 44s and low 45s is quite large.
I'd imagine in the future he'll being equally good in the 400 and 1500, but will favor 800/1500 doubles over 400/800 doubles due to tactical championship races favoring his background (if he ever ends up doubling).
This shows just how comfortable he is running 24s and 25s. When you're pr'ing in practice on a windy day at the end of 1700m of repeats at mile pace down to 200m pace, you're way ahead of your previous year's level.
However, 21.8 (953 IAAF points) is worth less than 48.40 400m (956), and therefore doesn't really tell us much about what he could run right now. I think that would be close to 21, if not a tenth or two better (outdoors). 46.30, his 400 pr, is worth 1091, equivalent to 20.8x. The 400m range I think he'd be able to reach this year, 45 to 45.5, is equivalent to 20.25-20.50, which I don't think he'd reach, as he is better the longer it goes up through 800m, including the last 100m of that. His 800m pr of 1:42.27 is worth a sub-44 400m.

I once ran a 23.7 with a flying start in practice. I ran 1:54 a few days later. I think the Coop is definitely going to run sub 1:53 with that kind of speed. Possibly sub 1:50.

What was your mile time? It's quite possible Cooper doesn't have the endurance to run such a time.

That frosh race was in miserable weather with a horrible crosswind which slowed him a little bit. If he trained ourely as a sprinter he’d be a very respectable 200/400 guy for a high schooler.

Lol. 22.12 for a frosh in March????
Yeah when I first got excited about his I was telling people this stat. He was definitely sub 22 in June that year.
And again, he ran 45.3r in April last year.
His 400m PR came on the back of double and he wasn’t peaking for the state meet.
