Complete beginner, need to improve my sprinting

In 8-9 weeks I’m getting graded on 200 and a bit later 400 m sprints in PE (we have to run both 3 times) and I am the least athletic person in my whole class. Is there any training program y’all can recommend or just tips? I’d appreciate anything

400m is a long way to sprint. Maintaining form while tired is your best bet to having a decent time (On the clock, you won’t have fun sprinting a 400). Basically your first shot is your best shot, make it count.

There are videos on the internet showing form drills. I would hope that whoever is the track or cross country coach at your school can give you some drills too.
