Running for varsity 4x100 track team?

Question

What would be an average time for a 4A varsity 4x100 team in high school. Leaving middle school i ran the 100 in 11.5 with my 40 time being 4.7 if that even matters.

Answer 1

If everyone on your team is about the same, you may be looking at a 43-44 second time.  Because only the first person is starting from a stationary stance, your time will be faster than adding them all up.  Best times in the nation will be 39-40 second range.  The handoffs are extremely important in that the closer you get to max velocity between handoffs, the faster your team will be.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

We don't know what state you are in.  Therefore, we don't know what 4A means.  Therefore, we really can't answer your question at all.

Why don't you try looking up your state association's track page?  That should indicate what state qualifying times are, which are above average.

Or use google to find meet results.

Or ask someone older than you at your high school who runs what the times were last year, if you are worried about making the team as a freshman.
