What are good track times for a 14 year old in the USA?

I'm the Warwickshire & Midlands Champion in the UK and my times are

100: 11.74

200m: 22.80

Would these be classed as good times in America?

And also if I was to live in the USA would I be good enough to compete?

    They are really good however you still need to get to at least 10 secs for 100m and 20 secs for 200m to be getting around the junior/ normal Olympic times. However they're 18+ so you have time to get the times faster. God your fast for a 14yr old!

    They would be good in America but not junior Olympics good, maybe national competitions. You'd still have to get faster on both of the to compete for America but no doubt by the time your 18yrs old you will be. Good luck, I look forward to seeing you in the Olympics one day!

    They are great times!

    I cannot answer your question though but i suggest just training for 200m much more often than 100m because you are like 0.8 seconds away from the 200m womens world record. I believe you are running a professional level for your age

    You can look at www.usatf.org and find all the age records and rankings in the U.S.

    At your age those are good times, especially the 200.
