Hey I was wondering...

So I am an assistant coach for the local middle school track team and we've got this 6th grade girl who seems pretty quick (right about 30 flat for an open 200) and I was wondering how that compares to other middle school times cause i'm 1.) not a sprinter and 2.) don't really know middle school times. I'm thinking it's pretty good, but we always run like the same few teams so they might just be slow. Basically the reason I was wondering though is because I wanted to tell her if her time compares to any high school marks or anything, cause it would be encouraging for her.

I could find out for you, but they would be 7th grade girls and not 6th.

That's very solid for a sixth grade girl.
Over the past few years I've kinda gotten an idea of what's a good time for kids at that age through the Hershey Track and Field program. Here's the results for girls of that age at their North American championship meet.
