in soccer, you have to place the ball behind your head while doing the throw in. if u place the ball over your head or in front while doing the throw in , then the referee will signal it as a foul throw.

The straight would be 50m.

About 25.5mph assuming my math is correct: 5280ft/330=16 16x9.68=2min35sec 60mph/2.6min=25.5mph

The above answer is incorrect. This would be true if it was a constant velocity, but because the runners are starting from a stop you need to factor in acceleration. But again we run into a problem because the acceleration is not constant so calculating the final velocity would be a bit tricky. A time of 9.68 the runner would probably be going close to 30mph.

From the staggered start, it is 400 meters around. The stagger is calculated by subtracting the extra distance one goes around a wider diameter. For each lane it is double the lane width (which in the Olympics is 1.22m) times pi. for each additional lane.

that is not true my girlfriend,Robin Shumaker, who goes to school at pontotoc ms city school ran a 4:58 last night and her best is 4:42

Can't be true. Too fast for 7th grade. With a 4:42 in 7th grade, she's on track for the 2012 olympics. Jordan Hasay (current 12th grade phenom) only runs about a 4:32 mile, and she made the olympic trials finals last year.

Totally agree, 4:42 for 7th grade is physically impossible. World record is around 5:30.

My sister is Cory Mcgee and she is on a full ride at University of Florida and her time is around a 4:44 and she is only a freshman and i am in seventh grade and my mile time is around a 5:44 and improving. This is definatly not true so stop lieing to make yourself and friend feel good about yourself.

The track which consists of running events such as:sprints, mid and long distance, as well as hurdles and the steeple chase. The field consists of throws, jumps, and polevaulting. There is the hammer throw, shot put, discus, and javeling. For jumps there is the long jump, triple jump, and the high jump.

The Olympic record for the 100 meter freestyle is 47.84 posted by Pieter van den Hoogenband, of the Netherlands at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

1,000 meters = about 1,093.6 yards.

its 800

Much depends on the condition and experience of the runner. On average, a mile will take anywhere from 10 and 12 minutes for a person in reasonably good health to run.

She has won many times, once in the 400m at the Olympics.

Fort Worth OD Wyatt - 1998 - 39.76 seconds.

The reality is that there is no single "official" time in the 40-yard dash at a Combine.

That said, Bo Jackson has the best verifiable time at a Combine with his 4.12 clocking at the New Orleans Superdome in 1986.

I assume you are referring to the 40 yard dash as it applies to American Football. Currently, there is no official recognition of any 40 yard dash time. The 40 yard dash, as measured by the NFL combine, uses a method slightly different than standard track & field. In track and field, the runner reacts to the starting gun, where as the NFL combine allows the runners to start whenever they want, with the timers starting precisely when the runner does. This gives the combine method around a .15 second advantage. Also, combine participants are timed using 2 methods - by coaches with hand-held stopwatches and electronically.

With that said, the fastest 40 yard dash runners on the planet are most likely world-class sprinters (Asafa Powell, Tyson Gay, Maurice Greene, Usain Bolt) whose track and field times would translate to very low 4 second range NFL combine-style 40 times.

Regarding the fastest 40 ever run by an NFL player, there are lots of players noted to have been clocked around 4.1, such as Darrell Green, Deion Sanders, Raghib Ismail, Joey Galloway to name but a few. There are also many notable burners over the years who could have no doubt ran in the 4.1 range, such as Willie Gault, Bob Hayes, Cliff Branch and so on. There have been pure sprinters who have tried their hands at pro football who also should be mentioned, such as Renaldo Nehemiah, Alexander Wright and Jimmy Hines.

But it is Olympic athlete, Ben Johnson, who was believed to have run 40 yards faster than any human in history. Johnson is best known for injecting steroids and winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul in 9.79 seconds, only to have his gold medal and world record stripped after failing a post-race drug test.

Timing officials have since broken down that famed race into 10-meter increments, and Johnson was so preposterously fast that he went through 50 meters in 5.52 seconds and 60 meters in 6.37 - both under the current world records at the time at those distances. He went through 40 yards that day in 4.38 seconds. But, no matter how fast he was on steroids, Usain Bolt's legal 9.69 (9.55 without slowing) 100m time (40 yards of it) blows it away. Usain Bolt's 40 yard during his 100m record was likely a VERY low 4 such as 4.09 or 4.02.

2 to 3 hours

The Fastest time for women is 1.53.42 sec.

The K probably stands for Kilometers, so 15 kilometers. About 9.4 miles.

Dick Fosbury who began the technique during his high school track days in the mid 1960s.

Its is 4 times around the track for outside track! THANKS HOPE THAT I HELP!!

Get the blocks out.

5 miles four laps is equal to 1 mile 20/4=5

On May 6, 1954 Roger Bannister became the first person to run a mile in under four minutes. Bannister's time was three minutes and 59.4 seconds.

A little more than half a lap on an outdoor track.
