The standout junior won two individual events, enjoyed a personal best in taking second in another and was part of a winning relay team to help the Eagles claim the IAAM A Conference championship, which finished Saturday at McDonogh. Cooper won the long jump with an effort of 19 feet, captured the 400-meter race in 56.25 seconds and ran the third leg of the Eagles’ winning 4×100-meter relay that was a meet record.
