The fastest eleven year old 800 metre time is not certain as that track officials don't normally post it on the web but i have experience in 800m and i know that it is in the range of 2:30 to 2:50.
2.50 for an 11yo?
No - 2.20 is very good for an 11yo - and there would be some who have run it in 2.15 or faster.
The NSW record for an 11yo is 2.15 and the Australian national record is 2.11.
The NSW State 11yo title was won recently in 2.20 and the 10 yrs in 2.23. Sort of puts 2.30-2.50 into perspective.
mine is 2:28 but im 13. so if you can get that you will win medal in all of your meets.
Ok, In the 1981 English Championships, Inter Counties, a kid (12) ran 2.05 Erik Kimani, i remember i was running about 2.24 at 12 and was blown away when i saw the 10 top english times, This kid, with a beard, was 7 seconds, or was it 9 seconds faster than the next fastest kid. His 1500 was 4.05 If i remember.
