Your opinion on these times?

I'm in eighth grade. A month and a half ago I joined track without any prior sprint training. I would love to be in the Olympics for 100m dashes and its my dream. At 13 years old I got a time of 12.17 in the 100m. I think its okay, but what are your opinions?

    Fast for your age, but not even close to Olympic times. Maybe look at an age-appropriate competition in your state.

    That's a real good time for an 8th grader but a light year away from an Olympic pathway.

    Here's a list of ten 7th and 8th graders who have recently run 100M between 11.94 and 12.31.

    Oh, forgot to mention ,they're girls :

    But don't give up.
