I have two questions: First, what is the record for a 7th grade girl in the 100m? Also, would using spikes improve my distance in the long jump?

Midget Girls' 100m Record

USA Track & Field, the governing body that certifies US records, lists records for 18 years and under by 2-year age division. The Midget (11 – 12 yrs) Girls' 100m record is currently held by Angela Williams of Ontario, CA. Angela ran 12.10 seconds on July 31, 1992.

Any sprinter or jumper (long or triple) who would like to improve their performance should consider wearing spikes. The extra traction afforded by a good pair of track spikes can make a measurable difference in performance.
