What is considered a good time for 16, almost 17 year old?

Answer 1

Check out Athletic.net. It is a highschool/middle school track and field website where coaches record times. To start, check out the results from Oregon, since the majority of high schools use the website. There may be some 1k times, but the majority will be 800meters and 1500 meters. My guess is you can run a  sub-3min 800 meters and a sub-5min 1500 time. Check to see how you stack up against the other runners, but those are pretty decent times.
