Are these good track times for a 9th grader?

Question

I am a 9th grader in track, and i was wondering about my times, and how i can improve them....

1600-4:52

800- 2:08

400- 0:55

Answer 1

Yah. Im a seventh grader and i run in meets my 1600 ir 6 min, and 400 is like 150 so your good

Answer 2

your 400 is good but if your doing all those events in one day its kind of hard to stay at a consistant time

try plyometric excersises to increase power and speed

Answer 3

yeah your times are good especially your mile time... thats not bad for a freshmen.. im a freshmen and im getting the same times as you. Id just keep doing what youve been doing, your times are good for the grade that your in

Answer 4

yea they are pretty decent.  im in 9th grade as well but my 800 time is a little faster than urs as i ran a PR of 2:04.09.  i never tried the 1600 (i might try it next year though).  i was also never officially timed in the 400 this year either.  keep it up though.

O and to the marisssa poster, there is no way you are an 8th grade girl running a 2:01.  I'm sorry but the fastest female high schooler in the country runs a 2:03 and the fastest college runner has ran a 2:01 so there is no way an 8th grade girl has ran this time.

Answer 5

those are great times! keep up the good work!

Answer 6

Yea.  I'm a girl in 8th grade and these are my times

1600- 4:48

800- 2:01

400- 0:55

So you are really good

Answer 7

Yeah, those are really good for a freshman. I mean, from what I've heard, guys improve a TON over their high school careers. Seriously, chances are, you're going to get a ton better. And ignore that idiot eighth grade girl who's trying to claim her times are as good as yours. There are a select few 8th graders who can run sub 5:30, let alone less than 5 minutes. xD But yeah, keep practicing and a mixture of hard work and...well...growing up will definitely get you into shape for some serious varsity meets. Actually, you'd already be a varsity distance guy at my school. xD

Answer 8

You didn't say if you were a girl or a boy, but our son is  a 9th grader also, and state track is today.  Here are some of the slowest times that qualified for state: (for boys)

400 - 52.6

800 - 2:07

1600 - 5:00.6

As you can see, you have a great time in the 1600, and a competitive time in the 800.  Just keep practicing!  I think you times are good (for a boy - if you are a girl, your times are EXCELLENT)

Answer 9

ya those are great times. the fastest freshman in our school runs a 4;55 so thats great! i agree about that about that marissa girl she could not run a 201.

Answer 10

i get

400-:52

800:1:56

1600:4:50

i mostly jus run the 800 tho

but ur times are better than mine wen i was a freshman

Answer 11

Answer 12

yeah, these are really good, and im assuming your a boy.

You will surely improve as you go through high school.
