Sports' competition systems for younger athletes are developing and growing throughout the World, including Croatia. This research study observed competative results of short distance sprint events for boys through ten years time period ; from 2005 to 2014. The aim of this research sudy was to create norm values for 5 sprint events that could be used to valorize the individual results in these events, in order to identify the athletes who could be successful in competative sprint events. The subject sample included boys, from 7 to 17 yrs old, according to specific sprint event, who were involved, for last 10 years, in running certain sprint events at Croatian athletics north league (HALS). The entity sample is convience and refers to achieved competative results in different sprint events. The variables' sample consists of 5 short distance sprint events: 60m, 100m, 200m, 300m and 400m. For every sprint event and for every age group basic descriptive parameters were calculated and the results were grouped by frequency. The valorization of results' achievements was presented through 5 quality levels: extraordinary above-average values, moderate above-average values, above-average values, moderate below-average values, and extraordinary below-average values. The results of this research showed greater occurance of certain sprint events in competition programs. Although the competative categories in the competition system are age-defined ; from 10-11 yrs, 12-13 yrs, 13-14 yrs, 14-15 yrs and 16-17 yrs of age, the obtained results showed that even much younger boys than age defined categories 10- 11yrs competed in the 200m sprint event, and especially in the 60m sprint event.
