2Far ★ Posted March 31, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 31, 2022 Pre USNA physical fitness test. It was on a frozen parking lot in Keds or sumsuch (there weren't many sneaker options then) in Rochester in February, or so. According to my lacrosse coach, I ran 3 x 5.0 second 40s. On the field, I was pretty quick, don't ever remember getting caught from behind by one of those flyweight middies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted March 31, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 31, 2022 I was quick for my size. Played defensive end and offensive guard. Low 5s as I recall. Maybe 5.4? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I only remember mine because I remember thinking at the time that it was odd that all three times were the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted March 31, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 31, 2022 I believe I ran it in about 126 grains of sand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted March 31, 2022 Share #6 Posted March 31, 2022 No not timed 40’s. My timed runs were 2 mile in the Army (low 12 minute PR) & 1 mile in the police academy (6:02 PR). Never did timed sprints. In the academy we did a sprint game where we would get in two lines. One line was the crooks, the other was the cops. Crooks would get a 2 second head start & then the cops would pursue. We ran to a point about 50 yards away. If you were a cop & didn’t catch your crook 50 push ups. If you were a crook & got caught 50 push ups. We would do two rotations in each line and I never once did push ups doing that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted March 31, 2022 Share #8 Posted March 31, 2022 No, I would have failed anyway. I was never a speed person... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
