best time out of 100/200/400

[bravesfanatic4]

i'm a distance guy and don't follow much about sprinting, but i'm just curious, there's a guy on my team with PR's of 11.1, 22.8, and 52.7... which of these is best?

[Brumund-Smith]

That depends. Are they auto times or hand times? Open times or relay splits?

[JSC.Rnr]

If they're all hand-timed and open, I'd say the 200.

[Sully 800]

i think the 200 and 100 are relatively even and both slightly better than the 400.

[Brumund-Smith]

I'm assuming they are all hand-timed, so I am going to have to go with the 200m. An 11.1 hand-timed really is probably around 11.50 to 11.60 auto-time, which I don't think is as good as a 23.1x auto time in the 200m.

However, if we are looking at FAT times of 11.10, 22.80 and 52.70, I would definitely say the 100m is the best.

[Coach E]

Those are above-average times....for a tenth grader

I'm pretty sure that's not the issue here. Try not to put somebody down who is simply asking a question. Let's get the new Dyestat starting off on the right foot.

Alright, I'm actually learning stuff about sprinting. I said 200>100>400, and looks like most people agreed. cool!

[watchout]

Brumund-Smith is right. 11.1 isn't as good as 22.8, unless it is FAT, in which case 11.1 is a little better. Both are better than 52.x, but they are all very good times.

[LOL]

those prs are almost identical to mine. ive run a 22.8 and i would say im the most happy with that.

According to the run-down calculator, the 11.1 is the best time, but the 200 is pretty close too.

[JSC.Rnr]

I think the point we were making about HT vs FAT was that 11.1 hand-timed is probably more like 11.5 given reaction times, whereas a 22.8 isn't distorted as much by anticipation of the athlete finishing or by listening for the gun instead of watching for it.

Those are above-average times....for a tenth grader Judging by his 1989 birthday, I'm guessing he IS a 10th grader. Not sure if this post was trying to put down his times or point his age out, either way, just saying.

No I wasnt trying to put anyone down, I figured he was in the 9th or 10th grade

No I wasnt trying to put anyone down, I figured he was in the 9th or 10th grade Ok, my fault then. It just seemed like you were being sarcastic in your original post.

im 89... but im a freshman

theres a soph at my school that runs a 52... and his lifetime goal is to run a sub 50.... and lance gonzalez at my school ran a 51

If the person is in the 10th grade and runs a 52, he should be able to at least get to 49 in the 400 by the 12th grade

[Sully 800]

potentially it seems like he can improve to 49....however without knowing any background on him, other PR's or how he has improved I don't know that you can say he DEFINITELY can hit 49.0...I think that sub 50 as a lifetime goal doesn't seem very ambitious, but i also wouldnt say you can guarantee he'll go much faster.

Note: I know you said he SHOULD be able to coach, so I'm not just trying to argue with your point...just giving my opinion on the situation

[cowboyjeff05]

i hit a 52.8 my soph year

my junior year my best run was a 53.3

then my senior year, my first 400 of the season was a 52.7, so as you can see, just bc you are a soph, you might not improve to a sub 49 by your senior year, but it all depends on various variables

[Sully 800]

haha...various variables

[cowboyjeff05]

hah im the alliteration master

He was saying they are BETTER! haha.

i ran a 52 as a soph and i thought i would be hitting 49s junior year, or senior year. well i was the only returning varsity sprinter going into junior year, and no one else stepped up. so i had to quapruple every single meet. and i sat out of invites so i would just race league meets. well junior year i only hit 52 (i ran like 50 4x4 splits). and this year i only ended up running the 400 twice and had a season best 53. kinda depressing. i would be mad, but i never ever thought i would run a 10.9.

[realstat23]

those are good for a tenth grader. don't listen to the coachE over there.

[realstat23]

scrath waht i just said,

[Dark Vanilla]

I'll take ya all down. Straight up. Run a 10.5, 21.6, and 47.9 respectively in all dese eventz. No playa on earth can stop me

im pretty sure a lot of "playas" on earth could take you down.

they're called olympians

[remiks]

But anyway, it is really hard to estimate what someone will run in the future. Anything can happen.

[vinsanity13]

well my state has 3 of the top 10 sprinters in the nation in j-mee samuels and two teammates of mine, Jonathan Hancock (10.3, 20.94 FAT) and Trenton Guy ( 10.5, 21.xx) and a 47.9 in the 400 cud get u to finals in states, but u probly wudnt win. If u were to drop a 46.0 then, ud be a beast but until then, ur jus gud buddy-o-pal

I'm pretty sure there are a couple thousand people just in this country who can beat you. Nice try though.
