100 Meter Dash

Allan Wells

In 1980 at the Moscow Olympic Games, his time was 10.25 beating Cuban Silvio Leonard by the thickness of his vest. Leonard was the 2nd man in history to go under 10 seconds, 9.98, so a magnificent acheivement for Allan Wells.

Usain Bolt has the world record on the 100m (9,58) and 200m (19,19) both set at the World Athletics Championships in 2009. He, along with his team mates also set the world record for 4x100m relays with the time (37,10)

Five fastest 100m sprinters in the world:

1:st - 9,58 - Usain Bolt (JAM)

2:nd - 9,71 - Tyson Gay (USA)

3:rd - 9,72 - Asafa Powell (JAM)

4:th - 9,79 - Maurice Green (USA)

5:th - 9,84 - Donovan Bailey (CAN) / Bruny Surin (CAN)

Five fastest 200m sprinters in the world:

1:st - 19,19 - Usain Bolt (JAM)

Rashad Abdallah at 10.93 for the Chula Vista Flyers

Eric Liddell, Harold Abrahams, Allan Wells, Linford Christie, and Christine Ohorugu are all Olympic gold medallists in 100m-400m from the UK.

Wyndham Halswell was also an Olympic champion in 1908 in London in 400 metres, born in London and definetely worth a mention, Wyndham was later killed in the Western Front of WW1 at the battle of Neuve Chapelle.

yes!!! the world record is 9.76 i competed sprinting in highschool the fastest i ever saw someone get was in the low 11s

When you mean fast, what would you consider fast? If you're trying to become a professional, then that's going to be good for high school unless there are serious track runners there.

My 2-year-old son ran the 40 in 15.75 seconds at the NFL Experience. He's pretty big and coordinated for his age, but I have no idea if that's fast or slow. He was laughing at the finish line, so that's all that matters.

It equates to 9.32688 seconds per 100 yards.

Men - 4:44.79 by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco

Women - 5:25.36 by Sonia O'Sullivan of Ireland

The world record holder for a woman is a Mexican girl named Ana Guevara with a time of 35.30 seconds.

10.6

I run track and for the most part, people run in the high twelves and low thirteens. a good place to be though is the low twelves and high elevens. I'm going to be a sophmore and i run 12.4 in the 100. So, That's pretty much where you should be in highschool.

It is 10.49 seconds by Florence Griffith-Joyner (AKA) Flo-Jo that's outdoor.

Yaniv Gershom in 2011 Overland Park, Kansas. 11.8 seconds in the 100m dash.

Haha. Dude thats slow. The fastest time I have seen by an 8th grader is 11 seconds flat. The second fastest i have seen is 11.4 It doesn't really get much faster then that.

im 12 and a rugby player hooker quite fit and i got 23 mins 33 seconds

train well and u know

(if that doesnt help its around 6-9 seconds really good will be under 7 seconds)

yes it is,

continue running (barefoot or near barefoot is better than with supportive shoes)

and should only get faster

= one version of near barefoot

orthodics/supportive shoes are the enemy, spread the word

Its one lap around a middle and high school track

I am 15 and a week ago i hit 25.55 so i dunno if that helps

I am 14 and got 23.87 and I'm mainly a 100m runner

I am 14 and i got 21.24 and 10.2 in the 100m

i doubt u got 10.2 the record for 14 year old is like 10.7 so stop lying a good time for the 200 is around 24-25 sec and a good time for 100 is around 12-13 sec

I'm a 14 yr old girl i run 200m in 27-28 secs a 14 yr old boy at my schools runs 200m in 22-23secs and i run 11m in 14-15 secs and the boys runs 100m in about 12-13 secs so hope it helped but i know a lad in yr 7 who can run 100m in something like 13 secs so hope i helped

Usain Bolt, in broke his own WR at Athletics World Championships in Berlin (August 2009)... setting it at 9.58 seconds . In doing so, he hit his highest speed between the 60-80m points, and travelled the 20m in 1.61 seconds - 12.42 meters/sec which translates into 44.72 km/h or 27.79 mph

And that's that.

no fat fighters beat that record in 2001

that's great a 14 year old should be running it under 12.50 seconds but that's crzy good, i run it in 12.37 seconds

1000000 seconds cause he is an old biddy and cant play football cause he is focused on other women

The easiest way to figure out this or just about any other unit conversion problem is to convert the units you are changing first. In this case, 1 yard is only 0.9144 meters and therefore 100 yards is only 91.44 meters.

The unit you are NOT changing is the second so now you can set up a ratio:

9.52 seconds / 100 meters x 0.9144 meters / 1 yard = (9.52 * 0.9144) seconds / yard

which is 8.76 seconds when rounded to the same number of significant digits.

NOTE: What you asked for is merely a conversion and as such it is imperfect. Had the race actually been only 100 yards (which is 8.56 meters or just over 28 feet shorter), the runners could have decided to use different strategies and their speeds would then be very different.

if u mean high school freshman then that is insane
