What is a good time for 5k fora freshman in high school?

high time
your mom asked:

Im a freshman and run cross country in high school ( which is 5k). I run varsity for my school and my PR is 17:50. Is that a good time for a freshman?

    Depending at what coarse you run at it could be good or bad. But thats faster then 6 min miles so its really good. Im a freshman too and i run 5k’s in 19:30. But I run at Sunken Meadow Beach Coarse, which is the hardest in all of New York State. You could still probobly smoke me in the coarse though. Considering im the best freshman at my school, and you run a min. and a half faster then me yea id say your time is good. Very Good

    it really depends on the course, our coach considers under 6 min mile pace to pretty good but prefers it to be at 5:30 pace for guys. Thats what our top girls run to, and for girls its 7 min mile pace…of course these times are at mt. sac which is a fairly hilly course one of the best in the southern cal area

    thats a pretty good time for a freshman guy. the fastest freshman guy at my school runs 17:15′s, but your time is still great. i am a freshman girl and my pr is 19:05, so id definatly say 17:50 is pretty good. congrats on breaking 18.

    Thats really REALLY good. You are on varsity as a freshman! That just shows how good it is. The top varsity guys on my team run in the 17s.
