Race car driver and CU student Cooper MacNeil talks about life on and off the track

As a student strolling around campus, it is usually pretty easy to pick out the athletes. The signature black Nike bag is often fixed to their back, and their relaxed workout gear is a tell-tale sign that they probably just endured hours of intense physical pain, breaking their backs for the Buffalo name.

The football players are large and muscular, the volleyball players, tall and lean, but amongst the classic athletes, the University of Colorado harbors some unknown talent.

Cooper MacNeil is a race car driver that has been attending CU since 2011. He has raced sports cars for the past nine years of his life on courses across the country and around the world.
