How do my results compare to other sophomores in the 400 m and 200 m dash?

Question

i feel so slow at the moment...i feel that i have made a lot of improvement in my 400 but not the 200 because i love to run that race.

here's my end of the season results(computer time):

2006-2007 season

200-24.2

400- 54.5

2007-2008 season

200-23.99

400-52.15

with hard work, is there any chance that i can be running sub 50's by next year because i gave up basketball(team sucked 5-22) and decided to get the school record and will run all next year. my season ended yesterday at the CIF prelims because the other 3 in the 4x1 didn't want to miss prom the next week and run in finals. how stupid

Answer 1

the times are not bad but more hard work could do very well

Answer 2

yes, you're doing very well...keep it up

Answer 3

I would have to agree with rpm on this one, but you have a chance to improve your 400m time tremendously since it seems to be your specialty. Im a fellow 400 runner as well.. And i know how you feel we had a chance to go to the Texas Relays and everybody didnt want to miss prom.... so i know exactly how you feel...

Answer 4

well running 52.15.. i seen people just this year go from 52 highs and then go and run a 50.4 just in the matter of a few months. it all depends on your determination. h**l you could get 50 by the end of indoor season.and as for your 200 time. yeah thats not that much improvement and you should work on that. your 200 will help your 400 time and vice versa but keep up the hard work
