The faster average among the 2 runner at the first 9 seconds can be computed below.

Runner A average


\text{average sp}eed=\frac{dist}{\text{time}}=(120)/(9)=(40)/(3)\text{ m/s}

Runner B average


\text{average sp}eed=\frac{dist}{\text{time}}=(120)/(9)=(40)/(3)\text{ m/s}

Therefore, runner A and B are tied .
