Ok I'm 15 years old and i want to do the 100 meter dash, my best time is 10.86 and Man's trials if you want to get in is 10.07 so i have to run a little faster but do you think that it could happen?

  1. Not necessarily, you cant tell..For all we know you might have just matured early and wont get much faster but you never know..But my advice is dont worry about things you cant control..if it's meant to be it's meant to be..if it's not then it isnt.. just work hard and try to do the best you can do to make yourself better instead of worrying about the 2012 olympics or how fast other people or running..I mean first off you got college to worry about before the olympics!

    I mean look at Alan Webb, American Recorder Holder and H.S. mile record holder and he  didnt even make it to Beijing this year..But guess who is there?  Brian Sell who ran  DIII in College..when he was in H.S. his best 1600m was 4:28 and 3200m was 10:08 which is kinda average and extremely slow compared to Webb who ran a 3:53 1600 and an 8:45 3200m.

    Other D III Runner's who were under achievers in High School are Andrew Rock who in High School had a 400m best of 47 and later went on to running a 44 winning a gold in Athens for the 4x4 and getting a silver in the '05 world championships..Nick Symmonds who's in Beijing ran a 4:20 mile, 9:35 3200 and a 1:53 800 in high school and he's in the olympics...I guess the point im trying to get across is you can never tell..By those times you are obviously very talented..just keep running and try to concentrate on making yourself a better runner..

    Also 10.86  isnt close to 10.07 at all..And in the US you're most likely going to have to break 10 to get into the Olympics


  2. train hard and yeah, im sure you can


  3. bust your *** and be disciplined and you could do thing you wouldn't believe

  4. Maybe, if you were running right now instead of typing on here.

  5. If you can prove you can really run as fast as you claim, you need to get a coach and start training.

    Maybe you have a chance.

  6. maybe just work hard

  7. what do you think?
