I run everyday for track practice , and weight train every other day in the morning. I want to know if weight training in the morning at a decent level and "sprinting" in the afternoon , will increase my performance or decrease it.

I would recommend sprinting before you weight train, if you go heavy and intense enough to actually get results in your speed, you won't have enough energy to truly get a good sprint workout in.
Just switch the times you are doing each if you can. If you can't, it should be fine but just know you won't benefit as much.
If you only have AM weight room access, one construct suggested by the USTFCCCA schools is to do your intense lifting sessions (Olympics , heavy statics & ballistics) on the next morning following your more intense sprint workouts (acceleration, max velocity). The mornings following extensive, regeneration, and light technical days might be bodybuilding lifts and other circuit style stuff.
I would recommend sprinting WHILE weight training. This has a combinational benefit to the athlete. This allows further development of multi-tasking skill sets, improves balance, improves strength, inproves speed, and just looks bad@ss. The faster the better and the heavier the better.
From your advice , I have decided to only weight train hard on Thursday or Friday , so I can sprint hard Monday - Wed and sometimes Thursday , sounds good?
