I'm my first track year of college. Currently 19 years old and I run a 10.7 in the 100m dash. What realistically can I do to get down to a 10.2 or below?
Or is it unattainable genetically?
All input is appreciated thanks! ??

If I drop from 11.39 last year to high/mid 10.2 this year, I'll let you know how to do it.
For a small fee, of course...
Check back in around July to see if we can work in a deal.
Only a proper sprint coach can help you answer this question. You won't get a good answer on here, not for targeting 10.2.
JTR, Whats you current set up?
coach?
Days training?
And what has your last 3 weeks of training looked like?
For the records, I am a sprints coach and a Masters Sprinter myself
Can you go from 10.7 to 10.2 before 22? Only 10.2 at 22 means you won't be running track after school.
The key to 100m in that speed endurance, that ability to sustain/maintain your topend/max velocity a huge % of your race. You decellerate at a slower pace. So you start running the 200/400 also, train like a long sprinter, do all you can to build that speed endurance.
Reaction to the gun, accelerate to TE/MV now here is the race...........slower you decellerrate the better. Speed without SE makes you a 60 guy.

This couldn’t be more wrong, the difference between a 10.7 guy and a 10.2 guy is evident a couple of strides into the race and is painfully evident by the 20-30 meter mark. It has nothing to do with speed endurance and everything to do with power. 10.2 sprinters have standing horizontal jumps over 11 feet and standing vertical jumps close to 40” or higher. If your basic power and strength numbers are in line with those numbers then you need to look at your biomechanics. Speed endurance is the final icing on the cake when your 50m and 60m times are in line with a 10.2 but you aren’t putting up the 100m times to match.

“Whatley” = “Brutal” from Sprintzone, was banned from both there and T&F News for being a nut, essentially. He is mentally ill and best left alone.
As for the OP, it is a bad troll job. Lame.
Thanks for the heads up.
I go walked onto a D2 college and I'm already the fastest on the team.
I sprint two to three days a week. And we take stretch/plyo days in between.
That's pretty much been how my last three weeks of training has looked.
I feel like the coach doesn't know how to train this speed because everyone else are 11.2 and up guys.

If your D2 track team is actually full of 11.2 guys your coach should be fired for piss poor recruiting. You can find 11.2 guys by the dozen at jv track meets.
no chance. Unless you have been injured and have run 10.3 before.
Losing 5/10 th from 10.7, is not like losing 5/10s from 11.2
10.2 is extremely fast. 10.7 is not. You might get to 10.5. Every tenth after that is special

Good analysis. I might add that 10.7 is what you could expect from a good decathlete while 10.2 is a sprint specialist (mostly). Decathletes aren't that fast, but rarely. Inside 11-flat, 5/10's is a very big margin over a 100.
Travis Collins went from 10.95 in 2013 to 10.57 in 2014 to 10.19 in 2018.

It's only been my one meet and I've achieved a 10.63 in high school. You said I'll never get below 10.5. I take that as a challenge!
Christian Coleman went from a 10.48 to 9.82. I think your analysis is off sir.
What do these sprint workouts look like? Weight lifting? Good to see your doing plyos.

You must have not seen too many D2 meets dude. 11.2 is quite the standard. Major, major drop off from D1.
Coleman dropped just over half a second even from age 18 to 22, and from the high level of 10.30. The fact that his best time was with -0.3 wind, but the first one at +0.9 means that he was probably close to 0.55s better.

Hutchinson Kansas with a 0.0 wind in April/May??? LOL!!! Why don't you post his performances from major championship meets in head to head competition with legit 10-low sprinters???
A HS kid progressing year to year into their college years is natural, and in a good program, can make large progressions over a collegiate career.
A 25+year old trying to go from 10.7 to 10.2 is nearly unheard of, especially if that athlete has had somewhat consistent training over the years.
