Last track season was my first season ever, and was the first time I ever ran really. My fastest time was a 7:15. Which I thought was good for someone who had just begun running.

I have a question.  I am an 8th grader, or was an 8th garder it is summer now and well at track I ran a 4:54 mile.  I know this is very good, but how good really is it?  Like does anyone know of some times of the big time national runners as an 8th grader?  I'm from PA so I know how Craig Miller holds the freshman mile record but what were his times like as an 8th grader can anyone venture a guess for me.  My goal is to get down in the 4:20's and maybe even teens if I try hard enough for next spring's State meets.  This sounds really unlikely but this will be the first time I actually trained I never really practiced much in Midddle School now however I run XC/winter track and all that for this coming year so I expect a big drop off in time.

FYI: mile-4:54, 5k-17.22, 800-2:08, 400-56.7. Those are my times all as an 8th grader without much coaching now of course I'm doing like 10 miles a day 6 days a week so these times should be much lower.

Any help would be great

I'm a high school senior that specializes in mid-distance sprints but I've had my fair share of miles with the distance runners. I've never ran the mile or 2 mile in a race but I consistantly run around a 4:58 mile and a 2:14-2:16  800 meter run. Put me over the mile marker and my time signifigantly drops I run around 23:45 minute 3.2 mile races.
