I had my blood pressure taken today and it was 97/88. I'm a 19 year-old female; 5'4", 110 lbs.
Is this healthy?

Yeah. Your diatolic could be a little lower, but that's a fine BP. If that bottom number is always 88, you might run it past your doctor.

97 is awesome... 88 a bit high... 110/70 is about ideal... sounds good to me!

Yes, as long as you are not bleeding or fainting when you stand up. Lots of people run normally in this range
