Yes. "Terminal velocity" is just the fastest something will go in freefall in air, when air resistance cancels out gravity.

It's not some sort of speed limit. You can throw something faster than its terminal velocity by hand. For human bodies, terminal velocity is about 190 mph. So if you've ever flown in an airplane or ridden a bullet train, you've gone faster than your terminal velocity too.
