Question

I have a thirteen yr old friend who can run 100m in 10 seconds flat, is that good or what!?

Answer 1

Extremely good. So good in fact that it is suspicious. How accurate was the timing and distance? And was there a hurricane blowing behind him/her? Is this a genuine measured result or a 13-year-old's story? If it's true, get him/her in touch with a good coach.

Answer 2

I would guess that the person was running 100 yds versus 100 m.  Anything other than that is extremely suspicious.  When I hear times, I usually ask if it was electronic or handheld, but that is so good, that I would have to see it to believe it.

Answer 3

If you friend ran that time in a track meet with automatic timing I am sure I would have heard about it.

No one in the world that age can run 100 meters in 10 seconds anything let alone 10 seconds flat.

Answer 4

WOW, what is that persons name so we could watch him.

Answer 5

yes that is really fast

Answer 6

Considering that the world junior record is 10.01 seconds, set by Darrel Brown in 2003, yes that is an exceedingly good time. I look forward to watching them at the olympics.
