Answer
    George you have to start somewhere.  You are so young.  Starting before your freshman year is ok.  If you work hard this summer and get stonger and faster, you will do just fine.  Be sure to listen to your coaches and do your best.  Don't be afraid to ask questions, so you can learn as much as you can.  Always give a 120% and you will do great.  GOOD LUCK COACH NOEL!!
