Averages vary by racial and ethnic groups. For example, the average adult non-Hispanic white male is 5 feet 9.8 inches tall and the average adult non-Hispanic black male is 5 feet 9.5 inches tall. The average height of adult Hispanic males is 5 feet 7.1 inches.

RJM: Thanks for the info and by these stats my son is average (Grew early 7th-8th grade,one of taller kids then leveled out). Thank goodness his speed is off the charts. The recruiters all told us, we can easily put 20-25 pounds on your son,easier than teaching one how to run.
