I'm not really sure about "average," because you need to take into consideration different things like age and sex. However, for a 13-year old female, I would imagine that 97 lbs at 5' is about right. I always go back to the formula I learned a long time ago: For females, and for the first 5' in height, add 100 lbs, and then for every inch over that add another 5 lbs. Then you can add plus-or-minus about 10 lbs on either side of that. I have found that that is a pretty good measurement to use when determining if you are in the right range for your height.
