100 meters time?

Question

Hi Im in 7th grade (12) and just started running track. Today I ran the 100 meters for the second time, and got timed. I clocked in at 13.7 seconds. Is that a good time? When I finished I wasn't short of breath at all and I felt like I could've gone faster but I was so far ahead of the other runners that I guess I didn't have a lot of motivation. I really want to get good and get a faster time. ~What are some things I can practice to improve?~ (ex:drills, exercises...etc)

Answer 1

thats a good time for a 7th grader, this is my first year running too and im in the 11th grade and my fastest time is 11.26 but i had learn there is 2 things to do in the 100 1st shot out of the blockes stay low for the 1st 15 meters then slowly come up and run as fastest as you can and relax let yur jaws flap.

Answer 2

I also just started track, and on my first race ever I got the same time. I just finished my season and the last race I did was in the championships when I placed second with a time of 12.63. The person in front of me got a 12.60 just beating me. I'm sure that if you work hard enough, then you can really improve you time.
