Is 11.7 a good 100m time for a male freshman?

[Anonymous]

This is my 1st semester as a freshman, 17 year old in college i ran with no studs just regular trainers also no gun shot start and also didn't bend low for the beginning running stance to push off the dash.

I'm sorry but the people commenting have no idea about the 100m.. saying 11.7 is somehow close to olympic times.

It's an okay time for a freshmen in high school. It's crap in college. High school elites run anywhere from 10.8 to 11.2. There are plenty of sub 11s in even a d2 college.

A whole second is a LOT to get down. You're not finishing top 3 at even the smallest meets with 11.7. And at populated meets you won't even be first or second heat.

You got to put in a lot more work. Get to it!

right, I dont understand why people answer questions that they obviously dont know anything about -__-

not terrible, thats about what i ran and i considered myself average or below :)

Dont expect to win many races with that time, better get to work

very good bro... pro-athlets can do 10 secs on average, and that's pretty close ;)

lol not really

exceptional for sure
considering that world record is just 2 seconds less

[ihatethiswebsite]

2 seconds is beyond a huge difference though

[jackfoe_LX]

I'm not familiar with running differences sorry
sounds good though
