However, we can give you some general ranges to consider:
800m:
* Beginner/Average: A time between 2:45 and 3:30 would be considered within a typical range for a junior high runner.
* Above Average/Good: Times under 2:45, and especially under 2:30, are quite good.
* Exceptional: Times under 2:20 are excellent for junior high.
1600m:
* Beginner/Average: A time between 6:00 and 8:00 would fall within a typical range.
* Above Average/Good: Times under 6:00, and especially under 5:30, are quite impressive.
* Exceptional: Times under 5:00 are outstanding for a junior high runner.
Important Considerations:
* Improvement over time: Focus on consistent improvement rather than comparing yourself strictly to these ranges. Track and field is about progress.
* Individual variation: Some students naturally excel at distance running, while others might be stronger in sprints. Compare yourself to your own previous performances.
* Training: Consistent training, proper technique, and a well-structured training plan significantly impact performance.
Instead of focusing solely on a specific time, it's better to focus on personal best improvement and enjoying the sport. Talk to your coach; they can give you the best and most personalized feedback on your performance.
