I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of people I've met
in school and industry who could even approach that 100 wpm.
The old electric portables used to jam the keys at much over 60 while
the "selectric" could go a fair amount faster. When in college my
daughter wore out one of those and she could out type it.

My wife and son can both type, error free at about that rate. I took
a typing course in the summer when I was in high school and passed the
10wpm error free test. I think in my case it was 10wpm and at least one
word error free :-)

My first wife's sister was able to type faster than an IBM selectric typewriter
(165wpm) error free. She won awards and contests for it.
