My estimate of the 5k xc mark a guy would need to get a full scholarship for cross country and track is probably 15:30, maybe even faster. However there are plenty of smaller time division 1 programs that will give you a partial scholarship for significantly slower times. For a girl, that standard for a full ride is probably around 18:00.
if you get better
20 minutes is an average tome for a 5k race.
The fastest time recorded for the race.
Yes, running a 5K in 18 minutes is a great time for a 15 year old. Congrats.I believe a 15 year old running a 5K in 18 minutes is excellent; competing time for a 5K is 19-20 minutes.
Depends.
The men's world record in the 5k race is held by Joshua Cheptegei from Uganda with a time of 12:35.36 set in 2020.
When I ran my first 5k I took 45 minutes. I think around that time.
Run faster
Chris Everts of SWFl ran the worlds fastest 5k with a time of 13:17 back in nov. 12, 2008
24:06 by Mayson Levandoski. RUN THRU THE RAPIDS 10-20-12 Official chip time . Not even close. Braden Griffin ran the Tulip Time 5K in 2013 with an official chip time of 21:01! see link: http://results.active.com/events/tulip-time-run--7/5k-run-walk/braden-griffin
you add a fifth of your time on then add approx 20 more seconds
