NATIONAL RECORD In 200m Prelims - USATF Junior Olympics Day 1 Highlights

After a crazy outdoor season where Tyrese Cooper blew up on the national level, he continues his hot streak running U.S #8 20.98 (Wind Legal)! His mark is a new USATF JO 15-16 Meet & NATIONAL RECORD!

It's another top nationally ranked performance for Cooper who is US #13 in the 400m from his 3rd place 46.44 finish at New Balance Nationals Outdoor.

The rising star is also running in the 100m & 400m at USATF JO's. Could he get a National record hat trick!?
