[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 610490, member: 14557"] That is quite a high bar. My guess would be, that half or more of the class will not reach that goal. 6.30 for a mile for teen boy requires better than average fitness and nowadays more and more of the kids are couch potatoes. That will likely also reflect to the scoring in the end. However difference between boys and girls is about what it should be. Girls and boys are different and when it comes to things like running and physical strength, difference really is that big. And much bigger in muscle strength etc. EDIT: Without checking actual percentiles for 1 mile run, I would say in traditional 1 to 5 scale of fitness testing (there one is very bad and five very good), that 6.30 for boys (around 15 if I remember correctly) and 8.30 for girls translates to about 4 (good.) So it is a hefty goal. [/QUOTE]
