Nice bro I’m in 8th grade too and I ran 2:19 last weekend at county I’m trying to go for 2:15 or so at state in a couple weeks. How long have you been running for?

What state are you in if you don’t mind me asking, I’ve got no hope to go to state any time soon as I’m in Texas.

Damn bro I’m in hs and I’m tryna hit 2:24 this week. Haven’t ran an 8 in a few years though. That’s a really good time for an 8th grader though; if you really try you can definitely be under 2 or maybe even 1:55 towards the end of high school.

Doing good. In 9th grade i ran a 2:10. In college, I eventually ran a 1:51. 1:51 is slow in the SEC but I was happy with it.

Good stuff. Mane. I did 1:53 in big 12 which is mad slow but i walked on. Mid distance crew when I ran had three dudes 1:47 and under. They all went to the trials last summer for Olympics and finals but didn’t make it out cause people are fried and runnning 1:43 and that’s slow now

Nice work! I was 2:17 in 8th grade (far too many years ago at this point lol) as well as 9th grade. Dropped to 2:03 in 10th grade although I think that was honestly due to my body maturing. Ended hs at 2:00.

I’m in 8th grade and run a 2:20 pr. I am nervous for my district meet this Friday. My district is crazy competitive — north Dallas so highland park, Lovejoy, McKinney. A 2:18 is pretty good based on what I’ve seen people run.

2:18 is really good for 8th grade keep it up my pr is 2:02 and that was last year I'm hoping I can set the school record this year which is 1:58.12 at my school. But yeah that's 4 seconds so we'll see
