the beginning of the summer and the season i felt awesome. i was training really hard and my first two meets i was in the top for jv. then i got put on varsity (duel meets only) and i was still doing pretty good. but lately ive just been getting bad. my last meet i had no energy and felt like crap. my time went up while others got a pr. i don't get it. i train as much as i can. i rest for a day or two before meets and i certantly try my best. so far three runners on my team, that i was ahead of, are now in front of me. they just slowly moved up while i did not. WHY!? i train hard. others are catching up to. I am just not moving foward.

you might be growing. sometimes when you grow it might become more difficult for you to run. it will probably eventually start to get easier if you keep training.For know you should just give it all you got.

Usually there are 3 ways your times are decreasing.
1. Overtraining or Overracing
2. Puberty and your body hasn't adjusted to the changes
3. No Motivation/bad coaching.
Usually if you have 3 your times may not be decreasing but they are an important factor.

Sounds like you are draining your body in a more long term sense. You should focus on your diet.
Are you loosing weight? You shouldn't. If you are training and still improving you should actually gain muscle tissue and therefore gain weight. Adjust your diet accordingly.
If your coach is any good he will send you to a dietitian and all will be well.
