100 Meter Dash

the average time for a 13-14 year old boy to run the 100 meter is about 15 seconds if you are athletic 20 seconds for a non athletic boy

14.0-14.5 seconds, by ninth grade you should look to be at 12.9 to be competetive.

It is a quarter way around the track. Most races start out half way on the turn and you run to midway through the straight away.

Internationally- and Olympic-approved tracks are 400 meters, measured on the inside lane. Rules require one of the straighaways to extend beyond the curve of the track far enough to handle both 100-meter dash and 110-metter hurdles, neither of which races are ever run on curves, unless it is an unapproved track.

The finish line of all races is always at the end of the front straightaway.

Every race over 110 meters requires running curves, but regardless of the race, all competitors run identical distances of both curves and straights, accomplished by using "staggered" starts that compensate for the increasingly greater distance around the track for each successive lane.

The easiest way to visualize stagered starts is with a small book. The bound edge could represent the finish line where all the lanes end. Now if you grip the other edge of all the pages and gently roll them upward, the inner pages (which have a smaller radius to travel) will stick out beyond the pages on the outside -- just like the lanes on a track.

The current World Record is 43.18 seconds set by Michael Johnson of the United States in Seville, Spain on 26 August 1999. The fastest clockwise 440 yards was Scott Ruvolo 44.97 on a dirt track at Excelsior H.S Norwalk July 20.1984 but was later averaged up to 45.17 because of disbelief.

not at all if your a intermediate runner beginners usually take about 12 mins for a mile

for boys a good time would probably be 5:15 to 6:30 and for girls it would be 6:15 to 7:45

The world record for the Woman's 50 Meter Dash (indoor) is set by Irina Privalova with a time of 5.96 seconds.

To run very rapidly; to run at full speed., The act of sprinting; a run of a short distance at full speed.

the minature weiner dog can hit speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour.

Usain Bolt, at around 9.58 seconds, as far as I am aware.

19.19 seconds at the 2009 World Championship Games in Berlin. That time set a world record.

The average time it takes an 18 year old boy to run the 30 yard dash is about 3.75 seconds according to psychologist Kathleen Stassen Berger. This figure is found on page 421 of her textbook The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence.

The average mile time for a middle schooler can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and level of physical fitness. Generally, a good benchmark for a middle schooler would be around 8-10 minutes per mile. However, some students may be faster or slower based on individual differences and training. It's important to remember that physical development varies greatly during the middle school years, so focusing on improvement and personal goals is key.

9.86 seconds. thats what i did

urm.. the average 30 year old in my opinion, could probably run the 400 meters in between 60-64 seconds.

to run it in 60 secs would mean a 15 seconds 100 meter and 64 secs would mean 16 seconds obviously:). hope i helped!

Two and a half laps is 1km, thus .25 of the track is 100m.

I think I ran 50m in 6.37 seconds (I think)

Not when you were 10 you didn't.

A super slick time for a 10yo to run 50 would be about a hand timed 7.0.

There are no short cuts in track & field.

It would depend what event of 100 meters is being swum, if it is 100m freestyle, then I would say around a 1:00 to 1:10, same thing going for butterfly, and maybe only 5 or 10 seconds more for backstroke. For 100m breaststroke, a good time could be around 1:25 to 1:40, since breaststroke really varies between people, as well as being a slower stroke than other strokes. Lastly, if the event is the 100m IM (Individual Medley), a good time would be somewhere near the swimmer's "prime stroke" time (their best stroke that is not freestyle). This could be anywhere from 1:00 to 1:30, which is pretty fast for a meter race.

If it is clear then you can see for yourself if not then it will be down to a Radar triggered photo. Bit like speed cameras for cars. But for runners instead.

In elite events the time is measured as follows: The timing starts when the starter pulls the trigger on the starting pistol, the message is transmitted via a transducer to the photo finish mechanism. The athlete is photographed at the finish line by a camera and the time is printed on a scale alongside the photograph.

Below is an ignorant piece of advice. Here's what I say: I am pretty slow, and I have a 10:30. I have a friend who ran a 6:02 but she is an amazing track girl, and her sister has a 6:15. Both ridiculously amazing. Yet, average, I believe, is around high 8's - or 9's.

If you are a girl and any good at running, definetly under 7:30. I ran a 6:29 when I was 10 so... do your best at it. the slowest at my track team run a 7:14. The fastest, a 5:29. So it differs for everyone.

Hey, I'm a 14 year old freshman and I haven't run a high school track meet yet (just training now) but last year my 400m time was 1:10, which was pretty good, but there were better on my team. good luck this season! :)

There really isn't much of an average. But, the ones on a track team would usually get in the 50's and 60's. Maybe for JV, late 50's to mid 70's. It all depends. You could see some high school athletes maybe get 45 seconds, or some which might get in the 2 minute range. For the ones who get in the 2 minute range, don't feel bad for your time, because maybe you might be built more for throwing events or a different sport.

Asafa Powell is a sprinter from Jamaica who has the 3rd best 100 meter performance with a time of 9.72. He has 2 bronze in the World Championship in 100 meters. He also has a gold in the Olympics in 4x100 meters (alongside Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Usain Bolt).
