He then went on to win a trio of events at College Station Sections in March.<\/p>\n<p>His best times include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>400 IM: 3:46.21<\/li>\n<li>500 free: 4:18.65<\/li>\n<li>1000 free: 9:04.39<\/li>\n<li>1650 free: 15:16.22<\/li>\n<li>200 fly: 1:44.51<\/li>\n<li>100 fly: 48.69<\/li>\n<li>200 free: 1:35.29<\/li>\n<li>100 free: 44.29<\/li>\n<li>200 back: 1:47.21<\/li>\n<li>200 breast: 1:58.46<\/li>\n<li>200 IM: 1:47.28<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Currently a junior at Keller High School, Lucas won the 200 free and 500 free at the Texas UIL 6A State Championships last season.

Even with two years of club swimming still to go, he would&#8217;ve scored in the A-final of the 200 fly and 400 IM, B-final of the 500 free and C-final of the 200 free at the 2022 SEC Championships with his current best times.<\/p>\n<p><i>If you have a commitment to share, please send a photo and quote via email to hs@swimmingworld.com.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW COMMIT:\u00a0Cooper Lucas, arguably the most sought-out recruit in his class, has announced his verbal commitment to the University of Texas and will remain in-state, joining the Longhorns in Fall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":514218,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[61683,131523],"class_list":["post-514217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-school","tag-agon-high-school-recruits-page","tag-cooper-lucas"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
