I don't know what would be considered average or competitive for your age, but I believe 2:14 is pretty solid. The most important thing is whether or not you are improving steadily. As for professional running aspirations, I believe Kevin Sullivan (Canada) was under 2:00 by that age, so try to keep it all in persepective and stay focused on the level you're currently at and the next one you're trying to attain.
