Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Since velocity is a vector, meaning it also relies on direction, the average speed can be different from her average velocity. An example would be if a runner turned around and ran backward after running 10 meters and returned to her starting point. If you took her average velocity of the entire trip it would actually be 0 but her average speed obviously would not be. This is why velocity can be negative but speed cannot.
