In Virginia the best in the state in 2009-2010 was 1:49.78 for boys. Of the 5308 boys that ran the 800 in at least one meet that reported it's results to milestat.com only 87 ran under 2:00 at least once. 2:17 was the time for the 1000th best run, so as you can see less than 20 percent of high school kids in Virginia (which is probably fairly indicative of most states) can run under a 2:17.
When you consider that these are times of only track kids and not the general high school population I wouldn't be sad with a time anywhere under 2:45 if you haven't raced the distance before.
For girls 2:10.55 was the fastest time in the state and only 40 girls got under 2:20. The 1000th (out of 4057) ranked girl ran a 2:54. I don't think a girl should be displeased with anything under 3:05 for a first race.
Depending on the state, it can vary. In Wisconsin, for example, under 55 is potential 4x400m Relay stuff, under 52 will win you a couple meets, under 51 is a likely conference champion, and under 50 is a State Finals time. But to win, you have to run a mid-48 to high-47 to be a guarantee.
good 1600 times vary from year to year, as a freshman anywhere from 5:30 to 5:10 is respectable, as a sophomore anywhere from 5:05 to 4:57 is pretty good, as a junior running in the low 4:50s to breaking 4:50 is good and as a senior breaking 4:50 to the low 4:30s would be considered good for the normal distance runner in high school.
i run a 2:04 for the 800 and I'm a junior. the state qualifying time for the 800 in my state (Illinois) is 1:57.
i'd say 2:10 is a good time to get as a senior.
what are the monster high cods for school spirit meter
14. 56 is a good time
if u mean high school freshman then that is insane
there are about 1200 pupils in wilnecote
I don't know how the standards are for a SC high school but where I am 2:30 and below is when the times start to get good for girls and 2:10 and below for guys.
I used 1200 LT’s in my junior year of high school , 1972 ! I still have them !!
Any time under 40 seconds is a good time for the 300 Meter Intermediate Hurdles for high school boys.
The 800 meter dash high school record in New Mexico is 1.51.73 by David Krummenacher from Las Cruces High School in 1993.

For a high school girl a GOOD time would be around 50-60 seconds. But for most high school girls their times will be about 56-64 seconds. For a high school guy a GOOD time would be around 40-50 seconds. But for most high school guys their times will be about 48-54 seconds.I hope I helped!!
