I'm a fairly new sprinter. My PRs as of last year are as follows:
100 - 12.74
200 - 25.68
300 - 41.x
400 - 61.58 (I had no idea how to run the race and I didn't go out hard enough)
The season starts in March. After two weeks, my coach has us do a 300m time trial to see who would be good in some of the relays. He said that if you can get under 40 seconds, that could put you on the varsity 4x400. Most of the people on my team think I can do it if I do some off-season training.
Yes
What is your athletic background? Age? What type of work did you do last season? Did your coach prescribe any off season work?
With your 200 PR you should be able to run 56 anyways
You're not a sprinter with those times, you're a middle distance runner.

He's fairly new though. He could get considerably faster

At 400 yes. And every distance beyond.
My friend went from running 26 first season to running 52.2 in the rain last race senior year, getting the scalps of 51 kids
Many other kids ran 26-27 and ended up sub 24 the next year actually

Yes, we call them middle distance runners.
