100 Meter Dash

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).

10.01 by Jeffrey Demps at the US Olympic Trials. Jeffrey now plays running back for the University of Florida Gators.

10.49s by Florence Griffiths Joyner in 1988.

A good time for a 200 meter dash ran by a 45-year-old male is around 30 seconds. Younger males will probably run it a few seconds faster.

Be explosive out of the blocks, keep your head down and stay low (this is called your drive phase) for the first 20-30 meters, stay relaxed, pick your head up and finish. The race is over before you know it so it is critical to stay low and drive because if you pick your head up and you see a lot of backs, you make it harder on yourself to win that race and chase times.

Jackson Ortolano a time of: 15.12

Bolt

Bolt is wrong, bolt runs the 100 (9.58) 200 (19.19) and the 4x100 (37.90)

The actual answer is Hicham El Guerrouj. He holds the world record for the 1600 meter run with a time of 3:43.13. Furthermore, the 3:43.13 was timed for a mile, which is 9.35 meters further than 1600 (which he had passed about a second and a half earlier).

There is no world record for the 8 mile run. It is not an official event recognized by the IAAF. I'm not even aware that the event is raced enough to have any significant representative world best.

If you are not familiar with track speak...

No one races it, so no one cares.

Check out this web site. This will give you a players average, high and low 40 yard dash time.
Demps average 40 time is 4.32 with a low of 4.24

even if Demps doesn't have the fastest 40 time, he tied the junior Olympics world record 100M dash time with a blazing 10.01. That's .01 faster that Trindon Holliday, who is arguably the fastest player in NCAA

I believe it is 21.87

ozil can run the 100 metres in 9.86 seconds

Pat Johnson is the Australian record holder but all isn't necessarily how it appears in sprinting.

Matt Shirvington's 10.03 into a small negative wind is actually very slightly better than Patrick Johnson's 9.93 which was aided by a 1.8 metre tailwind (if we adjust the times to allow for wind and altitude as per internationally recognised methods).

However 2010 hasn't been our best ever year.

Our fastest 3 men ran 10.17 Rouge-Serret, 10.18 Johnson and 10.23 Davies , all legal times.

A good time for a 14 year old girl is under 13 secs but the average is about 15.00 secs.

Boy's 100m PIAA is 10.58

Girls- you SHOULD be at 2:34. But 2:48 Is the average.

Boys- you SHOULD be at 2:18. But 2:30 is the average.

jusan bolt is the fastest runner in 2010

Frank Jarvis of the United States in a time of 11.0.

For the men, Usain Bolt with a time of 9.58 seconds at the Berlin World Championships 2009.
