Question

What is a good mile and 2 mile time for a freshman?

Answer 1

ah, looking to see how you did?  It's very hard to say, really.  depends on your personal ability, on how much you've improved, and on what you feel is good.

I consider myself a freshman runner, as i didn't run my freshman year and i didn't take it seriously until now.  as such, my mile is 5:43, though my 1500 is 5:09 as of thursday (5:28 pace).  I feel thats a good time, but other friends of mine ended their seasons  freshman year at 5:50, or 5:20.  Its a matter of what you feel accomplished doing.

Answer 2

It depends how long you've been running.

If this is your first year running, I'd say anywhere between 5:10 and 5:25 would be good times to hit by the end of the season. In the two mile, I'd say 11:30 to 12:00 are standard times to hit by the end of the year.
