A value around 14:15 is typical (50th percentile) for females in this age group.
Scores below about 12:07 fall near the 25th percentile or lower, indicating above-average performance (lower is better). Scores above about 16:43 fall near the 75th percentile or higher; about 75% of the reference population scored lower.
These reference percentiles reproduce the CCS Cooper Standards scoring document, which does not disclose the sample or derivation behind its 1.5-mile table.
