Just like they did 13 days earlier at the Brooks PR Invitational, Cooper Lutkenhaus and Jane Hedengren shared the spotlight again Saturday at Nike Outdoor Nationals, even if there wasn’t a ray of sunlight anywhere around Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.

Despite rainy conditions earlier in the day and temperatures in the 50s throughout the schedule, Hedengren and Lutkenhaus produced more memorable performances and continued to rewrite prep distance running history.

Hedengren, a Brigham Young commit from Timpview High in Utah, lowered her own American Under-20 and national high school records in the 3,000 meters by clocking 8 minutes, 40.03 seconds, improving on her 8:40.99 mark June 8 en route to a 9:17.75 2-mile effort at the Brooks PR Invitational in Washington.

Hedengren remained just outside the top 30 all-time World U-20 competitors, in addition to ranking No. 32 in American women’s 3,000 history.

Only two collegiate athletes – Katelyn Tuohy from North Carolina State in 2023 and Vicki Huber of Villanova in 1988 – have ever run faster in the 3,000 than the 18-year-old Hedengren, who has yet to officially enroll at BYU.

Blair Bartlett, a sophomore at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, placed second in 9:21.83, with 5,000 winner Rylee Blade from Corona Santiago in California taking third in 9:24.62.

Lutkenhaus, a sophomore at Justin Northwest in Texas, also lowered his own prep all-time mark in the boys 800 to 1:45.45, following a 1:46.26 performance at Brooks PR that eclipsed the 1996 national high school record of 1:46.45 achieved by Michael Granville from Bell Gardens High in California.

Lutkenhaus, 16, elevated to No. 5 among American all-time U-20 competitors, in addition to ascending to the No. 12 athlete in World U-18 history.

Bodey Lutes of Marshfield High in Oregon was runner-up in 1:47.74.
