I am 13 now but when i was 12 my best mile was 5:01. ill reset that record this spring tho. hope my answer helps.

:D Well I'm 12 and I just ran it in 4:46.10....Can you top that?

Yes, in 1980, while training for the Mission Inn 10k run, I was invited to the Hersheys State championships for 4 events, high jump, long junp, 1 Mile and 800 meter run. The medals were as follows:

1 Mile Run - Gold with a time of 4:18 age 12 years old

High Jump - Silver with hieght of 4'-9" I was only 4'-6" tall, and the winning hieght was 4'-9", becuase I had one more fault from a previous hieght, I did not win Gold.

800 Meter - Silver with a time of 1:50 age 12 years old

To date, I do not know of anyone ever coming close to the mile time I place on that day. I do remember, it was a day I will never forget, and the high Jump event was more memorable for one reason, I had the crowd on there feet for the simple fact that the bar was 3 inches over my head, and I cleared it! I never thought that the 4:18 mile was such a great time until later. I subsequetnly was sponsered by Athletic Express (better known "Foot Locker") and NIKE had me already papered up. One year later, I was diagnosed with Leg Perthese, and had a hip replacement at the age of 14, and 6 additional hip replacement since. Humbling experience to say the least, however, I never let it get me down, and kept positive, stayed active, hence the reason for the majority of my hip replacements (thats a story with in a story), and live life to its fullest. My only wish would have been, my mile would have been recorded in the history records, and frankly guines world records. Like I said, I do not know anyone ever coming close to this time in this age group. I would like to hear from anyone else that has a similar story. I can be reached at fipwholesale@gmail.com
