Wow that's crazy fast
-
He ran only .02 slower than the Collegiate Record (which is admittedly soft).
-
I still remember William Reed's record as a 15 year old on a flat track in 1986, 33.19 that stood for years.
-
Equals 20.9/46.5. While easing up and saluting.

This kid is gonna be a star

He's as physically developed as a college athlete. He'll be great, but not otherworldly. -
He just ran 1:01.88 for 500m

how did you measure that? #psuedoscience -
the guy behind him was awfully good as well in 33.22. But Cooper, though he will be 17 in a couple months, might well challenge Robinson's out of the world 44.69 this year.

Add in last year's phenoms the Lyle brothers and Michael Norman and US 100-400m future looks very bright. -
I see you getting that dig in huh about his age? Plenty of 16 year olds are sophomores. It's called having a late birthday. Rojo and Wejo are Ivy-League educated yet stupid when it comes to the basic stuff.

Uhhh...an early (I assume that's what you meant? not late?) birthday for a sophomore would be having just turned 16 in November or December. A few states have slightly earlier cutoffs. Cooper's gonna be 17 when the majority of Juniors are turning 16--well outside the "early birthday" realm.
Nobody's disputing how good this kid is--he's the best in the country right now, and probably going to be one of the best ever. He's also the same age as most high school juniors right now. His times are still otherworldly. -
Juniors are turning 17****

Just wait on his 800m time..! Tyrese is doing crazy things this season! Y'all heard from Rudisha800. -
Hopefully we'll wait a little longer. I wouldn't stretch him out to the 800 this year.
-
I'd love to see him run a 600m indoors and an 800m outdoors. He wouldn't even need a pacer for the latter, because I'm betting he'd go out very fast.
As for Schultzie, the White Supremacist above, high school sophomores usually turn 16 in the spring/summer at the end of their sophomore year, while high school juniors usually turn 17 in the spring/summer at the end of their junior year. High school seniors, obviously, usually turn 18 in the spring/summer at the end of their senior year. Nowadays, however, there is an increasing number of boys who are held back one year before entering kindergarten (that is, they enter at 6, rather than 5) to insure their readiness and to help them be dominant in high school and get scholarships. -

Obea Moore ran 45.13 and 1:49.16 as a HS Sophomore. His 1:49.16 800m was, if I recall correctly, #2 all-time for an HS Soph. Interestingly, the race Obea ran that 1:49.16 in was won by Michael Granville who held the #1 best time for an HS soph. Results for that race --Arcadia 1995, were:
Granville, Jr: 1:47.96
Aaron Richburg, Sr?: 1:49.12
Moore, Soph: 1:49.16 -
