What is a good time for a 9 year old girl to run the 400m in ? MY daughter has her 1st 400m race next weekend.

Question

SHe is running in her 1st race at a Junior games and has never run the 400 before. As of now, she can do it in about 1:55 without killing herself. Is this close to what the average kid would run it in ? What is a good, or competitive time for her to run it in ? All I know, is the record for the games she is running at for her age group and gender is about 1:15. Thanks !

Answer 1

I would say she has the potential to run it a 1:40-1:45

I think you're pretty set.

Answer 2

For her age i think that it is a pretty good time I run college track and field and there are girls who still get 1:15. If she isn't killing herself than maybe she can run it faster, the 400 usually kills me, but younger kids also have more energy. I think if she continues running she will make for a pretty good trackstar.

Answer 3

i'm in 8th grade and im a girl and i run a 1:02..
