Tyrese Cooper has one goal in mind every time he steps on the track and that is to break records. The freshman national record holder in the 60, 200, and 400m indoors, is hoping to duplicate that success on the outdoor oval. He told me before the 2016 Louie Bing Classic he had been waiting for this meet, his high school debut, for the longest of times. This weekend at Tropical Park he didn't disappoint improving his prelim times and going 10.57, 20.68, 46.34, to complete the sprint sweep! WATCH this sprint sensation "smoke" the competition!
