100m (am i decent)?

Question

I am 13 years old (14 in october), i can run the 100m in 12.76 seconds and i am the second best in my year. am i fast compared to other people aged about the same as me?

i am a boy

Answer 1

Thats pretty good for middle school level.

Answer 2

yes ur decent compared to ur age, although if ur in grade 8 u should get that time down to 12.2 for next season. im speaking full electric timed and not hand timed with a stop watch.

Answer 3

for being 13 your time is actually really good. my friend is a 18 and his time is 11.30 but he ran a 100m in 12.70 [one of his bad days] your time is actually good. keep it up, you'll be at the us olympic trials on day.

p.s i run 800m (mid distance)

Answer 4

In short, yes.

Of course, it depends on your figure - if you are quite slight then you could probably push yourself more.

Im seventeen and could do it in 11.8 when I was 15/16, some of my friends now can do it in 11.3

If in doubt, check with your PE/PT coach - sounds good so far, but beware its really easy to get slack at an event like that, so keep going!

Good Luck! J. x

Answer 5

yes i would say you were fast at the 100m, especially for your age. I'm currently in year 10 and the top lad in our year can run in about 11 seconds so (you're currently in year 8??) I would say you are fast compared to others and  not much slower than others 2 years older than you!

Answer 6

Yea thats pretty fast, that is around what i could run at that age! Maybe a bit faster i cant remember tbh, when i was 15 i clocked 11.54 if that helps! I can run around 10.6-10.8 seconds now and i am 19. Keep pushing yourself!
