Today I ran a 100m at a local meet for my club. I placed fourth in the final. During the race I felt as if I could go way faster like I had energy I hadn't used but when I tried to speed up I ended up over-striding. I have the nationals coming up soon and would like to know if there is an explanation for this. Thanks
Explanation for what? Explanation for your club not having anybody good in the 100?
No, if felt as if I could go faster but when I tried I couldn't, I was wondering if there's an explanation for that feeling or if it's just wishful thinking? And yes I'm not the best at 100m, any tips?

Sorry, double post
There's probably about 20 things you could improve on. Try shorter strides.
Weights, son. Squat, deadlift, split squats, weighted lunges. Your push off the track will be much more powerful and your stride length will increase.

You should try sprinting it, rather than running it.
OP: are you a distance runner? If so, it isn't surprising you might feel like your legs just won't go their full speed, especially if you have been doing a lot of mileage recently.
To some extent working on aerobic capacity is at odds with working on top end speed. Obviously there is a lot of interest in improving top end speed for the theoretical increase in efficiency is gives for longer distances, etc, but you will never have the same top end speed as if you didn't run lots of miles/work lots of slow twitch.
