These charts are always unrepresentative nonsense.These look a little high for Jr. High School.
To compare do you have numbers to post?These charts are always unrepresentative nonsense.
I've been timing 20-yard dash for every HS girl who tries out for us since 2017. I've never had one player -- not one -- who meets the "average" times listed here.
It is true we do not have a lot of high-level, college-bound athletes. But that just makes us more representative of reality, not less.
What are the sample sizes and population types? It might be that only “stud” (quotes just in case “you know who” is reading) MS players are doing it compared to a much broader range of HS talent..The only statistically significant difference between middle schoolers and juniors is grip strength? Ok…

This. MS players only got to those camps if they are well ahead of the curve. So you are seeing results from the top 1% or less from that age group.I would say keep in mind that your average player in Jr. High is not going to an ODM camp.
What's the timing mechanism? I've got one daughter who has always been the fastest player on every team she's ever been on (club sports, school sports, track team). She can't break 3 seconds on a laser timer.This. MS players only got to those camps if they are well ahead of the curve. So you are seeing results from the top 1% or less from that age group.
When DD showed up at HS she was already the fastest player on the team at about 2.9 so she was probably close to that is MS. She dropped about a tenth (60ft) since then to get below 2.8. But even the "slow" players on our HS team are below 3.1.
There are some pretty slow kids in MS, though.
