Well, for the mile, the world record for people comes to 16.13 mph, and for 100 yards, it comes to 22.55 mph. 27.79 mph is recorded as the record for the fastest instantaneous speed, though. (It is doubtful that someone of Nancy’s apparent physical capabilities could attain that.) For elephants the data is less clear, while 25 mph is cited in some historical data, newer research has questioned this.
