100 Meter Dash

A fast time is probably 16 or 17 seconds!:)

The fastest person to run is Usain Bolt with 9.72 secs in100 meters.

At the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, Usain Bolt set the world record in the 100 meter dash, running the distance in 9.69 seconds.

A woman cannot run very fast. Most women will attempt to run but at the most they may be only able to achieve a slow jog. One may know that a woman is attempting to run if she is moving with an elongated stride, arms swing wildly as well as hands unclasped that are never raised above the waist.

Yes, assuming it was timed by qualified officials or by fully automatic timing.

like 7flat or 6.50. so if you run a 5.90 your fast, you run a 6.50 your slightly fast, 7.20 or 7flat that's average. 8 you need improvments

i think that 7 is slow for a freshman im an incoming freshman 6 2 about 200 and run a 5.3

He was the fastest runner in the world but then he was doping because he didn't beleive in himself and thought if he wasn't the best no one would like him. He also got a world record for sprinting.

Most experts believe that Bob was never officially timed. There was no need to. He was the world's fastest human by far and that included the NFL. Estimates range from him running a 4.2 to sub 4.2

The fastest in my school division is 2:48 min. HAHA i only got 4:21 but yeahh 2:48 is super fast he sprinted the whole thing :S

In 2007, Veronica Campbell-Brown from Kingston, Jamaica ran the 100 meter in 10.89. She is tied with Evelyn Ashford as the eighth fastest woman in the world for running the 100 meter in 10.76 May 31, 2011.

The fastest man in the 100m sprint is Jamaica's Usain Bolt, with a 9.58s finish at Berlin, Germany, August 16, 2009.

I do not know exactly for boys, but I am a 7th grade girl and it takes me 15-16 seconds.

Im a 7th grader and I ran mine in 13.4 my friend ran his in 12.8.

I am now an 8th grader who runs 12 seconds flat, but in 7th grade I could beat most of the eighth graders with 12.5.

because he absolutely loves

running and he turned down

scholarships to many collages

to stay home and train

An average time for the 400m in the Olympics is under 45 seconds.

/\/\

that guy is wrong since the 400 metres current olympic world record is 45.28 how can the average be under 45 seconds IDIOTS on this site astound me!

13-18 seconds

I'm a 13 year old boy and I run 100m in 11.69. But I've raced some kids at my track meets who are a lot faster than that. They probably run like a 10.8! I've seen the times too really fast. So I'd say a good time is around 10-12

Usain eats about 5,000 before his race for breakfast for energy, consisting of bananas, cakes and of corse his chicken nuggets if needs be.

Easy. Just go ALL OUT. It should be a dead sprint the whole way. Get out of the blocks powerfully. Don't crunch your hand's up into fists. Make them relaxed, but they have to be staright. Don't cross you arms across your body, and DON'T LOOK AROUND. Look straight ahead. If it's a close race that could cost you your win. If someone is on your tail and you don't know who's gonna finish first, lean in slightly right at the finish line. The first person with any body part across the line is the winner, even if it's their head, SO LEAN. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Through the 2008 Games in Beijing, two sprinters from Canada have won the men's 100 meter dash gold medal:

1) 1928 - Percy Williams

2) 1996 - Donovan Bailey

Usain bolt 9.58 and his olympic record is 9.69

I'm a 13 year old female, 4'11, and i weigh about 120. I run daily when I don't have too much homework. I run from as little as 5km up to ten. Depending on the day. I think this a reasonable amount given that I don't do many other sports. It depends on your circumstances I guess.

For high school boys it is Nate Jones who ran a 10.44 at the Richardson Invitational on 3/12/2010.

Samuel Arkoh

the world fastest girl runner is actuall Florence Griffith joyner.

It all depends on your age, an 18 year old tends to be faster than a 60 year old, it also varies with sex, as Males tend to be faster than Females. Averages are always hard to base upon due to various factors; age, sex, mobility, weight, height etc. with the below results being best estimates

Male averages:

Under 11 - 19 seconds

11-15 - 17 seconds

16-19 - 16 seconds

20-28 - 15 seconds

29-40 - 16 seconds

41-60 - 17 seconds

60+ - 18 seconds

Female averages:

Under 11 - 21 seconds

11-15 - 19 seconds

16-19 - 17 seconds

20-28 - 16 seconds

29-40 - 17 seconds

41-60 - 18 seconds

60+ - 22 seconds

These are based on the average person who does not do much exercise and of course people who do regular exercise, running, cycling, walking, swimming etc being slightly quicker.
