Question

I am 14 and run a 28.1 in the 200m dash is that good for my age?

Answer 1

That is great for your age. I remember when I was in track my time was closer to 35.0. The world record is somewhere around 21.4 seconds so you're not too far off. Keep practicing!

Answer 2

From the other answers it seems you are female.

In New Zealand we have a five star system, and I would think you are just in the 5 star level, from which I would say you are in the top 10-15% in your age group.

It shows you have some ability and should be looking at getting serious about your sprinting.  

Answer 3

my school is small but the record for the 200m for your age is 25.95

Answer 4

Awesome time! You will probably be Varsity in Track with the time you are currently hitting, there's always room for improvement, so you will probably hit lower times in no time, with where you are currently at and also the workouts you will be doing, during Track. Good Luck!

Answer 5

yes that is a good run i suppose... do you do training because it could improve a little.

Answer 6

yessssssss

Answer 7

Not bad, but you should still hit the gym and hill :P

good luck  

Answer 8

I would say so.

The record right now is held by Florence Griffith-Joyner with a 21.34 time back in '88

so I think that the time is pretty good.
