0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Call Room Road to Seattle. Today is the final ever episode.
0:08.8	And to close out this awesome series that I have so enjoyed doing is the man of the hour.
0:14.8	Freshman stud Cooper Luchenhaus. Cooper won the 2024 Brooks PR 800 meter run in stunning fashion. I was there. It was absolutely
0:22.7	remarkable. He ran 147 and beat a star studded field, including Patrick Hilby, a bunch of other
0:28.8	148 guys, and he led five guys in the field under the 150 barrier. Cooper also won the middle school
0:36.0	boys 800 meter race last year at Brooks PR where he ran
0:39.2	154 a meet record. This kid is unbelievable. His potential in the sport is I don't even know if you
0:46.3	can quantify it. As we talk about in this conversation, he could be the first person in history to win
0:51.0	Brooks PR 4 for 4, but even more than that, 5 for 5 because he won last year
0:55.2	as a middle schooler. I know a lot of people have been turning their heads like, who is this
0:59.1	freshman? And so I wanted to get him on the podcast, share his story and share his ambitions,
1:03.8	hopes, and mindset for the next three years of high school and what he's looking to do.
1:07.8	He's got that freshman 800 meter record. He broke Michael
1:10.9	Granville's freshman 800 meter record. And Michael also happens to have the overall 800 meter
1:17.1	national record, which I have no doubt Cooper is going to have a fantastic shot at getting
1:22.1	in the years to come. My only note before hopping into this episode is just a note of thanks for you guys listening and supporting this series.
1:29.8	It's been so much fun to do.
1:31.3	And a truly special thanks to Brooks Running for bringing this to life.
1:35.6	I had conversations about doing this series last June at the Brooks PR Meet 2023 with Garrett Heath.
1:42.2	And we've had discussions about making this happen ever since then.
1:45.8	So it's been like a year-long project.
1:47.3	Really appreciate them.
