My daughter running a timed 40 yard dash

So last year, just before her 2nd birthday, I posted this in the UGLI forum...

"On vacation, on 8/9/2016, on an all-weather track, my one year old daughter (she's turning two later this month) ran 18.93 in the 40 yard dash. That would be listed as 19.0 hand-timed or would be approximately 19.17 fully automatic, which is how NFL guys get timed.

Gonna do this every year a little before her birthday.

It was awesome watching her. Based on growth, effort (she was only around 85% effort here it seemed), and ability to focus, I'm thinking she could run sub 14.00 next year.

And don't worry, I'm not one of those crazy parents. Just wanna do this once a year to have fun with it. Maybe it will actually become something meaningful once she's 13 or 14 and thereafter."
 
...and yesterday, the day before her 3rd birthday, I had her run it again. 13.31 seconds which is rounded up to 13.40. That would be about 13.55 FA.
 
I may try it with my son too who is crawling at 8 months and who I expect to walk by 10 months...though doing a 40 in the middle of December will suck.

Indoor track? Or barring that, an aisle of a large department store? ;-)

Yeah, I could def drive a ways to an indoor track...or do it somewhere else...maybe get my buddy to let me into the high school where he coaches. They have carpeted hallways.

Get him out in the snow. Gotta toughen them up early. Don't want to raise no ***** do ya?
 
I think I started another thread for this last summer but as an older 3 year old, last summer, she ran 10.7 for the 40.

Yesterday, after about an hour and a half of playing at a park and a lot of running around, I asked her if she wanted to see how fast she was on the grass football field. I timed it and ran with her the the full 120 yards. 32.8 seconds. Bodes well since the first half was WAY faster than her second. She tired out running hard after about 30-40 yards. Thinking she could run a sub 10.0 now on a track. Maybe sub 9.7 even since she was so much faster (it surprised me the first 30 yards) and the grass was awful. I guess we’ll find out mid-August how fast she is.
 
If she ran with any kind of focus and purpose and was warmed up lol, I think she could run a 8.8-8.9 in 2.5 months.

That’s never happening doe.
