What is a good distance in triple jump for a 12 year old girl?

When i was a 12 year old boy my i jumped anywhere in between 32-34ft in 6th grade. i broke my league record and i guess the Illinois state record for 6th grade jumpers. now not bragging thts a bit higer than average, since boys are mainly overall stronger than girls, an average 12 year old boy jump should be about 24-26 ft and average for a girl would be about 22-25 ft.

I'm a keen triple jumper and when I was twelve I got 7.51 m and won the event so I would say about 7 meters would be average for a girl .
