I ran 100m in 12.8 secs and im 13, is is a good time?

Question

It was on sports day and im now the fastest in my year. I am exactly 5ft and am quite short compared to most. I have never done any kind of running training either :-)

Answer 1

WOW! Mustangs that is the biggest lie ever!

The women in the olympics are only running around 10.6.

That's better than most boys in high-school.

But 12.8 is good.

I ran 12.0 in 7th.

And 11.5 in 8th.

But you can't really tell, with hand timers. Some are off and some start late, and some finish early.

It's hard to say.

Answer 2

Yeah, that's pretty good!

Answer 3

Any time is a good time as long as your the one in front.

Answer 4

Considering you've done no training is quite good. But i know this girl in my school thats in 7th grade, shes black, has personal training, and ran it in 11.4

Thats pretty fast for a girl right, would've smoked you.

So just try and run hard. good luck

Answer 5

That time is good considering you have never done any kind of training. It's a solid time that can be greatly improved if you train. I am 14 and this year I ran in a high school meet in the 100m and i had really little training leading up to it because my school has a poor track program but I rain it without spikes and got 12.99s. I made it to the second round but that was it. I have done running in elementary before though.

Answer 6

I'd say there's definitely some potential there.  With proper technique and weight training you could be good in high school.
