dont have a clue
Michael Johnson currently holds the world record for the 400m at 43.18 seconds.
I don't know about the record, but I run the 400m for high school track. My PR is 63 seconds, but there are other girls on my 4 x 4 team who run 56's and they broke the school record. To get anywhere near a scholarship, you have to run at least a 57 for the 400m. It sounds easy but don't under estimate it until you try to run that time.
As of October 2023, the men's 400m world record is held by Wayde van Niekerk of South Africa, who set the record at 43.03 seconds during the 2016 Rio Olympics. The women's 400m world record is held by Marita Koch of East Germany, with a time of 47.60 seconds, set in 1985. Both records remain significant benchmarks in the sport of athletics.
