Answer 3

You are good enough. Join a club as soon as possible to get you going even faster. See you next Olympics!

Some people answering your thread are claiming times faster than the world record, they know who they are, dont believe them, you are fast.

Answer 4

yeah, it's fine.

Answer 5

ok if your 13 then that is pridy good. but it was only 100m sprint.

join the club =] my best time is 8 sec when i was 15.

Answer 6

yea thats great

Answer 7

Sure you are =] that's real fast.

Answer 8

13.8 seconds - are you kidding? and you think that's GOOD??? :[

well - i've got to say its not good... it's AWESOME!!!!!

keep pushing yourself to try harder and you may end up in the olympics!!!

if you're up for it and really into running - talk to your parents about having a serious career in running.  have a fallback option to though.  don't forget about school because if something goes wrong with the running career - you need to be able to support yourself!

good luck! =]

i hope to see you at the olympics some day. i'll be cheering. =]

Answer 9

Yeah that's pretty good mate.

I'm amazed that some of the other respondants have managed to break the world record in 100m, I suspect they might not be telling the truth!

There are a great deal of external factors that you cannot control which will ultimately decide if you are really fast or the absolute fastest.  These include your height, bone density and skeletal structure, muscle insertions around your body and so on.

That said with some good training and real hard work you will get much faster regardless of the above factors.  

You definately have good potential and should get to a club as soon as you can

Good Luck mate

Answer 10

I did mine in 11 secs several years ago, but I think it's good. And even if others say it's not good enough, you can always do better by practicing. Good luck!

Answer 11

it can be improved..i have a friend who can do it in 9.4 (approx) seconds..but if u think your pretty fit then go and join and improve the time!

And Matt N ....

im not trying to impress anyone...l=....clearly u just looked for figures.... my mate done it not me. and if you READ mine properly it tells him to go for it.

so aye.

Answer 12

on grass, no spikes and no doubt ~ untrained  = not too bad  . . . with proper shoes and training, your time could drop dramatically . . . it doesn't hurt to try so go for it and good luck

Answer 13

Good..

Answer 14

yea!  i did mine in like 14 sec

Answer 15

dude your slow i did it in 11.12 and i am 13 (almost 14) and in 8th grade. at our school track meet in dirt with regular nikes and slipping before i started i ran it in 12.67 also hand timed

Answer 16

That's a good time, time yourself again with a stopwatch instead of handtiming. If you time does improve join a club and get spikes. =D
