Chris Everts of SWFl ran the worlds fastest 5k with a time of 13:17 back in nov. 12, 2008
5 kilometers, FYI for those non-metric folks 1k=0.62 miles, so 5k = 3.1 miles
Around 22-23 is about average for a varsity athlete. Anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes is good. Some high school students would go between 30 minutes to an hour, but I would recommend you get under 30 minutes to compete in a 5k race in varsity. JV doesn't matter as much. If you want to be in AAU and make the nationals, try to get under 20 at least few times in a row, because many will get in between 15-20 minutes in AAU Nationals.
According to Track and Field, the women's world record for the 5K is 14:11.15, set in 2008 by Tirunesh Dibaba of Ethiopia.
