Is running the 100 meter dash in 11 seconds good for a 12 year old boy?

Question

Last week I was in the track meet. I got 11 Seconds in the 100 meter dash. But I dont think thats enough to make it to the state. Do yall think its fast enough to make it to the state

Answer 1

That's very very good for a 12 yr old.!

but i am not too sure if it will make it to ths states.

Answer 2

im 11 and i got 10.8 but 11 is really good for 11 the world record is something like 9.7 and dats for an adult so yer you should make it.

Answer 3

That is pretty good, I think you will be more agile when you get to be 12 yrs old, and if you keep it up you end up,with the world greatest men in running

Answer 4

Tell me how did you get this 11 seconds? Was it some people standing on the side of the track with stop watches?

Was your time 11.99 or 11.00? The difference is about 10 yards.

I doubt very seriously if you ran a legitimate 11 seconds for 100 meters.

If so, then you are a world class sprinter for a 12 year old boy.

Answer 5

I dont think you ran 11 seconds no offense or anything but if you did then you should make it to state easily.

Answer 6

well, on my track team our fastest runner who is 14 ran a 10.4, i think 11 is good. but the only way that you will know if its good enough for states or not is if you ask your coach.

its only fast, if its better than a lot of other people.

Answer 7

i dont believe you got 11 seconds and youre only 12.

thats a fast high school time. plus the fact that you dont have like 11.254 or 11.120 shows that your track meet was probably being counted in peoples heads. they should have stop watches. you should know exactly what your time is, i know if i ran that i would.

Answer 8

in my country (NZ) a 12 year old ran 11.87 with proper electronic timing...

he is now 15 running 10.98

Answer 9

it must be good enough,if your only 12 you can only get better

you should compare your time with others if you can and see where you stand

Answer 10

Ask your coach what the time requirement is for the state meet.  How did you do in comparison to the other boys you ran against?  If you won, then it's really fast.  If you lost, it isn't.

It sounds pretty fast to me.

Answer 11

That time seems questionable, as does the guy who said he ran 10.8 as an 11-year-old. The high school record in the US is 10.15, and the best time in our league this year was 10.6.

Answer 12

Its pretty quick for 12. The only one who can tell you if its enough for state are personal trainers in your area.
