for first year runnning thats pretty good! faster than some of the guys on my team lol. just train hard and push yourself at practise. strive to drop those seconds in every race. you'll do fine, just keep with it!

Answer 3

Decent. I look at it this way. It's not terrible but it's not stellar. So there's room to improve. I ran about 5:15 in 9th. Keep practicing and keep up the good work.

That's actually pretty good for a freshman! Try to knock off a couple seconds these next couple months with the track workouts. Try to get below 6 by next year! :D

I wish you the best!
