What is a good time for the 400 meter dash for a high school freshman?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It really depends on your region. For instance, in Florida or Texas, the "speed states" to be conpetitve even in dual meets, you need to be running high 50's to mid 51's to be competitive. As far as regional and state meets, if you look at the results from this past years state championship meets, you need to be in the 50.5 range to be competitve and under 50 seconds to win. However, that being said, a good time is anytime that improves on your current PB(personal best)

Answer 3

A good 400 meter dash time for high school athletes would be 50-55 seconds and an average time would be 56-59. Any higher and you'd be in one of the last heats in the race.

Answer 4

105 sec is decent
